Tree Planting In South Florida

Properly planting a tree is simple but does require some advance preparation. Doing so will ensure your tree thrives once it is in the ground. There are many reasons it is to your advantage to choose to plant new trees. Property Values and Commerce are a consideration as treed neighborhoods and business districts attract prospective buyers and consumers. In urban areas across the country, homes with trees sell for an average of 10-20 percent more. Consumers are willing to spend 12 percent more in stores with trees in front of them than without.

There are also energy savings to consider. Homes shaded by trees have 10-30 percent savings in air conditioning costs compared to homes without shade. Trees improve air quality. They absorb pollutants and store carbon, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Trees help rain soak into the ground rather than run off the surface,facilitating drainage and stormwater mitigation.

Furthermore trees add beauty to neighborhoods, create recreational opportunities and provide relief to physical and visual stress. This improves our health and quality of life. No matter your reason for adding trees, know that by planting trees at home, work or in your neighborhood, you are investing in your community and forging a green legacy for future generations to enjoy.


Planting is best done between October and April. Container-grown plants can be planted any time of the year, but are easier to care for if planted in autumn or winter, as they need less watering than ones planted in spring or summer. Bare-root and rootballed trees and shrubs are only available in autumn and winter.

Zimmerman Tree Service provides professional tree planting services to ensure you have healthy trees that will grow to maturity. Trees are natures great cleansers of the atmosphere, pulling carbon and releasing oxygen. Every tree you plant, helps the planet breathe fresher air.

Proper tree planting starts with selecting the right tree for the right location. What tree you select, where and how you plant the tree and how you take care of the tree in the early years, affect the health of the tree throughout the tree's life.

Cabling And Bracing Trees In Florida



Cabling and bracing are the two most common forms of structural support for trees. They involve installing flexible cables or rigid rods to reduce the chances of failure of defective unions. Cables are installed high in the tree, at least 2/3 the distance from the defect to the crown. Rods are installed much lower, just above and/or below the defect of the tree's structure. Cables are always stronger than rods because of their greater leverage. Cables can be used alone, but bracing is always supplemented with cables.

Trees can grow in such a manner that their physical structure can no longer support their own weight. This is particularly common in mature multi-trunked trees and trees with open canopies. Failure of a large branch or trunk can result in property damage, personal injury, or the decline of a tree’s health. Cables and bracing rods are tools arborists use to protect or improve the structural integrity of trees.



There are three major uses of cabling and bracing. Prevention: to reduce the chance of failure on a healthy tree with structural weakness. For example: a specimen bur oak in good condition but having large limbs with "V-crotches" would be an ideal candidate for cabling and bracing. Restoration: to prolong the existence of a damaged tree. Perhaps a large live oak has lost one of its leaders in a storm, leaving the others suddenly exposed and vulnerable to further damage. And finally mitigation: to reduce the hazard potential of a tree's location, as in the case of a picturesque multi-stemmed hickory that towers over a picnic shelter.

The installation of cables and bracing rods, along with pruning to reduce end-weight can reduce the likelihood of a structural failure. Properly installed cables help to redistribute structural stress, and bracing rods can provide support to branch attachments deemed weak. A combination of cabling and bracing can successfully address existing splitting limbs and trunks. A Certified Arborist can best determine if your trees can benefit from the installation of cables and bracing rods.

Be sure to choose a certified arborist who is knowledgeable and experienced in this area. 
There are many important technical aspects to correct cabling and bracing. For example, the strength and material of the hardware utilized, the arrangement of the cables (simple, triangle, box) or rods (single, multiple, etc.) and the location, type and size of the entries made into the tree. Cabling can substantially reduce the likelihood of structural failure. Every cable installation is tree specific. A certified arborist can determine the best cabling arrangement for multi-trunked trees.

Palm trees, if properly planted, fertilized and cared for, are resilient and relatively low maintenance. Keeping your palm trees healthy and looking their best requires expert care.

Each palm tree has specific needs based on the palm variety, soil, location of planting, time of year, weather and other conditions.
Palm trees may become diseased, attacked by pests or weakened by drought, fire, lightning or storms, and require special treatments.

Palm trees, even though they are warm climate plants, require tender care in the summer, with proper pruning and the right amount of moisture. Excessive precipitation and flooding or too long dry spells must be addressed.
