Common Trees in the Lee County, FL Area Include Palm Trees, Fruit Trees, & Many More

At Tim's Tree Service, we have been working with the trees in the Lee County, FL area for three decades, so we are experts in determining the proper trimming schedule for all types and sizes of trees. Common trees we see in this area include:

• Palm trees: Many residential and commercial properties use these beautiful tropical plants to accentuate their properties and increase their curb appeal. The fronds of each type of palm tree have differences and need to be maintained in certain ways.
• Fruit trees: Our area of Florida boasts a climate that is perfect for growing many different types of fruit trees. Commonly, we treat citrus trees such as orange, lemon, lime, and grapefruit trees. Fruit trees must be trimmed at a certain time of the year to encourage higher production and fuller growth.
• Red maple: These trees can grow to be between 35-50 feet in height when maintained properly. They also grow quickly, meaning their trimming schedule is vital especially when they are new trees.

Why Should You Keep Your Trees Properly Trimmed?

In Cape Coral and Fort Myers, FL, residents pride themselves on their property, landscaping and especially their trees. There are many reasons why you should be trimming all of your trees, especially palm trees. Here are a few reasons why tree trimming is important:

• Improves the health of your tree by removing dead or dying branches. Removing these branches will reduce the risk of them falling, causing damage to your property or injury to you or your family.
• Trimming dead or dying branches will help to prevent decay and frees up more nutrients to flow to the healthy area of your trees. Dead and dying branches will sap up valuable resources and need to be trimmed.
• A routine trimming schedule maintains the tree's structure and shape, ensuring your tree stays healthy and is positioned to absorb the most nutrients possible.
• Keeping your trees trimmed will increase the sun's exposure and air circulation, improving the overall health of your trees.
• Trimming or pruning fruit trees can increase the size and quality of the fruit. This should be done in the late winter to help shape the tree and expose the center of the tree to sunlight.
• Recently planted trees should be trimmed to begin training the tree for shape and fullness.
• Trimming your trees also makes your property appear maintained and beautiful.

Young trees are vulnerable and need extra care. As these young trees grow, they can start to branch out in the wrong direction and need help to grow properly. We trim back those branches and shape the tree, providing it a stable structure and desirable form. We also keep the branches from growing too close to building structures or power lines. Young trees that are properly trimmed will require less corrective pruning as they grow larger.

Keeping your larger trees trimmed is also important as this helps to maintain the fullness and shape. Trimming large trees can be dangerous because many times we work in the trees with power equipment, hanging high above the ground. Utilizing a properly insured and licensed crew is paramount for property owners, as an uninsured tree crew can often create undesired liability issues.
