Coastal Exposure and Residential Palms
Trees closer to the ocean often grow with a lean or asymmetrical canopy because of prevailing winds. Salt spray can stress less-tolerant species. Palms are a mainstay of coastal landscaping, and they need different care than hardwoods.
Before storm season, homeowners often schedule dead frond removal, oak deadwood pruning, and an honest look at any tree that might fail toward the house.
Common Tree Conditions in Ponte Vedra Beach
- Wind-shaped trees
- Palms with dead fronds and seed pods
- Salt-stressed foliage
- Mature oaks near homes
Homeowner safety note
Don't over-trim palms before a storm. Removing healthy green fronds weakens the palm.
