Tree & Shrub Care

Paradise Environmental Services of Florida Inc. performs disease and insect treatments on palm trees and shrubs using foliar applications that combine targeted pesticides, fungicides, and soluble fertilizers to enhance plant health while controlling pests and diseases.

Assessment & Diagnosis:

• Inspect trees and shrubs for signs of insect infestations (e.g., scale, whiteflies, borers) and diseases (e.g., Ganoderma, leaf spot, bud rot).
• Identify nutrient deficiencies that may weaken plant resilience.

Preparation of Treatment Solution:

• A customized blend of soluble fertilizers, systemic insecticides, fungicides, and micronutrients is mixed for optimal plant absorption.
• Nutrients like magnesium, manganese, and potassium are often included to correct deficiencies common in South Florida’s sandy soils.

Application via Foliar Spray:

• Treatment is applied using high-pressure spray equipment for even coverage on foliage and stems.
• Systemic ingredients are absorbed through leaves and translocated throughout the plant for extended protection.
• Applications are timed to avoid extreme heat and rain to maximize efficacy.

Follow-up & Preventative Care:

• Scheduled treatments help prevent reinfestation and nutrient deficiencies.
  Soil drenching or trunk injections may be recommended for severe cases.
• Proper irrigation and pruning advice is provided to support long-term plant health.

This integrated approach ensures effective pest and disease control while boosting plant vigor with essential nutrients, maintaining vibrant and resilient landscapes.

Assessment & Diagnosis:

• Inspect palms for nutrient deficiencies (e.g., potassium, magnesium, manganese) and insect infestations (e.g., palm weevils, spider mites, scale).
• Determine soil conditions and root health to customize treatment plans.

Injection of Fertilizer & Pest Control:

• Use a specialized probe and injector system to apply liquid or soluble fertilizers deep into the soil near the root zone.
• A balanced blend of macronutrients, micronutrients, and organic matter promotes strong root development and disease resistance.
• Systemic insecticides (if needed) are injected to protect against pests that feed on roots, trunks, and fronds.

Post-Treatment Irrigation & Monitoring:

• Irrigation ensures proper absorption and distribution of nutrients.
• Follow-up inspections determine if additional treatments or adjustments are needed.

This targeted, soil-based approach ensures healthy, pest-resistant palm trees with minimal environmental impact while improving overall landscape vitality.

Assessment & Preparation:

• Evaluate palm health for nutrient deficiencies (e.g., potassium, manganese) and pest infestations (e.g., palm weevils, borers, scale).
• Select appropriate systemic fertilizers and insecticides based on the palm’s needs.

Trunk Injection Application:

• Small injection sites are carefully drilled at the base of the palm.
  A pressurized injection system delivers liquid nutrients and insecticides directly into the vascular tissue.
• The treatment is quickly transported throughout the tree for fast and effective results.

Post-Treatment Care & Monitoring:

• The injection sites heal naturally, minimizing stress to the palm.
  Follow-up inspections ensure continued health and pest resistance.
• Inoculations are typically repeated annually or as needed for sustained benefits.

This systemic method provides long-lasting protection and nourishment, keeping palm trees healthy, resilient, and pest-free in South Florida’s landscapes.
