Florida’s diverse ecosystems, including those in Volusia County, Seminole County, and surrounding areas, are home to an array of native and non-native trees. Among these, some invasive tree species in Florida can pose significant challenges to homeowners and the environment.

Invasive species are non-native trees that can out-compete native species for resources, causing harm to local ecosystems. They can spread quickly, are often resilient to local pests and diseases, and can significantly alter the habitats they invade.

A few invasive tree species in Florida include the Brazilian Pepper tree, Australian Pine, and Melaleuca tree. These species, among others, spread rapidly, overtaking native species and altering natural habitats. Their control requires a comprehensive understanding of each species and effective management strategies.

At Action Tree Care, we have the expertise in dealing with these invasive species. Our ISA Certified Master Arborist understands the unique challenges posed by these trees and can provide effective solutions to control their spread and mitigate their impact.

We use a combination of mechanical removal and specific herbicides to control invasive species. Mechanical removal involves physically removing the trees, often using specialized equipment. In contrast, herbicide treatments can be applied to the cut stumps or foliage of the tree to prevent regrowth.

It’s essential to understand that managing invasive species is a long-term commitment. These species have adapted to spread quickly and can regrow from remaining roots or seeds even after initial removal. Regular monitoring and follow-up treatments are often necessary to ensure long-term control.
