Whiteflies suck plant juices and, in turn, produce a sticky substance known as honeydew. Honeydew left on its own can cause fungal diseases to form on leaves. ... If the whiteflies are feeding, they'll suddenly all fly off the leaves in a swarm, so it's very obvious. You may also find eggs laid on the undersides of leaves. Whitefly can be treated so you can save your pants and palms.

Lethal Bronzing (also known as Texas Phoenix Palm Decline) is caused by Phytoplasma palmae (a mollicute similar to bacteria, but lacking a cell wall) that is closely related to Palm Lethal Yellowing . ... Lethal Bronzing is most likely vectored by piercing-sucking insects that are known to spread phytoplasmas to plants. Preventive measures can be taken. But once a palm is infected, it should be removed so it doesn't spread to other trees.

Well this sure makes Tree Doctor sad. Never like to see trees die or destroyed by winds. But if you do have a tree stump, we can grind it for you. At least you'll have some mulch when we're done. Call Ron at 239-940-6727.

Yikes! This would've been one big stump to grind!

These trees will be fine. Since they are not native to Florida they will need proper fertilization and regular maintenance. A regular feeding schedule with a systemic fungus and insect control would help insure their healthy growth. Deep root fertilization would help these trees a lot!

We first discovered the health concern when we noticed brown, wilted, sick-looking palm trees greeting anyone coming into Southwest Florida near the airport on I-75.
