Why does the North Pinellas region matter for this service?

What is laurel wilt, and does it affect my oaks?
Laurel wilt is a fungal disease spread by the redbay ambrosia beetle, and it kills trees in the laurel family: redbay, swampbay, camphor, and avocado. It does not infect oaks, including laurel oak, which is a true oak that just shares the name. If a laurel oak is declining, the cause is usually heart rot or internal decay, since laurel oaks are short-lived and prone to it. Either way, early diagnosis by an arborist tells you what you're dealing with.
What does lethal bronzing look like on a palm?
Lower or older fronds turn a bronze or brown color first, and the discoloration moves upward through the canopy over time. There is no cure for an infected palm. Removal is usually the recommendation once bronzing is confirmed, to protect nearby healthy palms.
