Does anyone know of a coconut picker in Miami that will remove coconuts from two super tall coconut treees? The previous owner of my home paid a one-time fee to a picker to remove them for the rest of eternity (as long as the coconuts are consumable) but I've called him twice to no avail. I understand that it could be free or minimal cost as long as the coconuts are ready for consumption.

If you call any gardener with basic equipment they do this, all you have to do is specifically mention the coconut palm trees height to make sure they are the real deal and will scale them, vs. people who just rake the lawn and cut the grass.

I had some guy knock on my front door one Saturday morning who wanted to remove all the coconuts in our palm trees,he did this free of charge as he's obviously making money from the coconuts somehow.I think he probably got like 30 or more coconuts from our trees.I believe his truck said something like "The Coconut Guy" or something like that.

Do you two do this to consume them or just because you don't want them falling on anyone's heads?

thx; i googled the coconut guy and couldn't find him ; (
i don't want to call a landscaper who is going to charge $100++ when I know there are folks out there who will do it for free.
i need to cut them down so i can start parking in my driveway w/o fear of a bomb dropping on my car. fortunately, both of my trees are in locations where no one (should be) walking/standing.

That guy with the "Coconut Guy" sign on his truck that came by my house didn't look all that professional,basically a 60 year old Cuban guy with an old truck and a sign,I doubt he's advertising himself on the internet.
