  But Karen Vissepo, a spokeswoman for FPL, said regardless of the type of lines that are in a neighborhood, trees always pose a problem.
  
  "Every tree has the potential to cause an outage," she said.
  ...
  Vissepo said the company doesn't have exact guidelines about how far branches need to be trimmed from power lines.Instead, the company works on a case-by-case basis, and the trees are trimmed based on how close they are to the lines.
  
  "Obviously we try to trim as much as we can while maintaining the tree," Vissepo said."But we have revisited our vegetation management program and are targeting them in an aggressive manner."
  
  Vissepo said the company also isn't in the habit of trimming palm trees.
  
  "Palm trees cannot be trimmed," she said.
