Tree problems in Palm Beach County, FL that call for emergency tree cutting

  1. 1

    Invasive trees you're encouraged to remove

    Article 14.D targets prohibited invasive non-native plants. Species commonly targeted in South Florida include Brazilian pepper, melaleuca and Australian pine (casuarina), which is also notoriously weak in hurricanes. Removing these is often required during development and is generally welcome on residential property.

  2. 2

    Hurricanes, sand and shallow roots

    Coastal Palm Beach County has sandy soil and high water tables, so large trees can uproot in long-duration hurricane winds. Australian pines and overgrown ficus are frequent failures. Thin dense crowns and remove deadwood before June, and keep palms clean of coconuts and dead fronds near homes and pools.

  3. 3

    What the county regulates

    Since 1987, Palm Beach County's Environmental Resources Management department (ERM) has regulated native vegetation through the Unified Land Development Code, Article 14.C, Vegetation Preservation and Protection, and Article 14.D, which requires removing prohibited invasive non-native vegetation. The goals are limiting unnecessary removal of native vegetation, encouraging natives in landscapes and eradicating invasives.
