Palm Tree Fertilization Services

Palm Trees are native to South Florida and flourish in the type of weather South Florida provides. They can naturally grow on their own when left untouched. As palm tree care professionals we know the difference a properly maintained palm tree and one that grows naturally in the wild. We provide services and consultation on how to make sure your palm trees receive the proper care and nutrients to promote healthy growth. There are multiple methods for palm care treatment that can alleviate growth deficiencies.

Proper fertilization can help your South Florida Palm Tree care and maintenance routine. Palm trees develop strong root systems in the ground and allow access for liquid or granular application. Application methods that target the roots of the palm tree is a very common process for fertilization. Palms trees may also have insect infestations in the palm fronds and require a liquid spraying application. Palm trees can also have growth inefficiencies such as frizzle top. Or palm trees can have fungus such has Ganoderma zonatum which can kill the palm tree once its infected. To help prevent these types of issues with your palm trees we recommend using some of our services:

• Liquid root drenching
• Granular root application
• ArborJet Injection
• Insecticide Treatment
• Deep Root Injection

Growth deficiencies for palm trees can be identified by a few present factors. If there is yellowing of the palm fronds that is a sign that the palm tree is lacking nutrients and needs fertilizer to become healthy and green. Any of our fertilization methods are proven to resolve yellowing issues with South Florida palm trees. Frizzle top is also caused by lack of nutrients as well. The palm fronds will start to shrivel up and turn brown, hence the name “frizzle top.”

Look out for these common types of palm tree deficiencies and diseases:

• Frizzle top
• Lethal yellowing
• Ganoderma zonatum
• Insect damage

Palm Trees be maintained is not only just to make sure they look nice and tailored. When palm trees are not maintained they can also promote rodent. There are a few ways that palm trees can attract rodents to your South Florida home. When palm trees are located close to the home they can actually provide roof access for rodent. We always recommend trimming palm trees and even ornamentals at least 3-6 feet away from the roof. If there are any opening on your roof it can provide straight access into your attic. We have had many calls about these issues with rodents, birds, lizards, iguanas, and snakes. 

Another way that palm trees promote rodent activity is by producing berries. Palm trees can grow different color berries (mainly orange or yellow) and rodents are attracted to these berries for food. We always recommend trimming down those berries in order to reduce rodent activity on the property. When these types of factors are present on a South Florida home with palm trees its very easy for rodents to make an entrance into your home.

Taking care of your palm trees can be a time consuming job and become very expensive. You can save time and money by having professionals manage your palm trees. We have proven practices and will document the condition of your palm trees all along the way.
