Expert Tree Care for Fort Myers Homeowners

Fort Myers’ subtropical climate creates the perfect environment for lush, tropical landscaping—but it also creates perfect conditions for aggressive pests, fungal diseases, and storm damage. Your trees are valuable assets that can add thousands to your property value, but only if they’re properly maintained.

That’s our specialty.

My Joshua Tree has been serving Fort Myers homeowners since 2011 with honest, expert tree care. We’re ISA-Certified Arborists who understand the science of tree health—not just the mechanics of cutting branches. And we’ve built our reputation on something rare in this industry: telling the truth, even when it costs us a sale.

Our Fort Myers Tree Services

Tree Pruning & Trimming

Proper pruning is about more than aesthetics—it’s about structural integrity and storm preparedness. In Fort Myers, where hurricane season is a fact of life, weak branch unions and overgrown canopies are liabilities waiting to happen. Our ISA-Certified Arborists use scientifically-backed techniques to reduce wind resistance, eliminate hazards, and promote long-term tree health.

What sets us apart: We follow ANSI A300 standards (the industry gold standard). We never use climbing spikes on living trees (which wound the bark and invite disease). And we’ll tell you if your tree doesn’t need pruning—because honesty matters more than a sale.

Palm Tree Trimming & Care

Fort Myers is palm tree paradise, but most tree services get palm care wrong. Over-pruning (the “hurricane cut”) actually weakens palms and makes them more susceptible to storm damage and disease. Our team follows University of Florida IFAS guidelines for proper palm care.

Fort Myers palm services:

• Proper frond removal (no over-pruning)

• Nutrient management (manganese, potassium deficiencies)

• Lethal Bronzing Disease diagnosis and management

• Spiraling Whitefly treatment

• Palm health assessments

Tree Removal

We always advocate for saving trees when possible. But when a tree is diseased beyond recovery, structurally compromised, or posing a threat to your home or family, removal is the responsible choice. Our licensed team uses specialized equipment and precision rigging to remove trees safely—protecting your property, landscaping, and hardscaping.

Complete cleanup included. We grind stumps, haul debris, and leave your property cleaner than we found it.

Emergency Tree Services

Fort Myers storms don’t wait for business hours. When a tree falls on your home, blocks your driveway, or threatens power lines, we respond fast. Our rapid response emergency team is available to arrive quickly and handle dangerous situations safely and efficiently.

Common Tree Problems in Fort Myers (And How We Solve Them)

Hurricane Damage & Storm Prep

Fort Myers sits directly in the path of Gulf Coast hurricanes. Proper tree maintenance isn’t optional—it’s essential for protecting your home and family. We assess structural weaknesses, reduce wind sail through strategic pruning, and remove hazardous trees before storm season.

Ganoderma Root Rot

This deadly fungal disease is common in Fort Myers and attacks the root systems of hardwood trees. Once infected, trees become structurally unstable and must be removed to prevent catastrophic failure. Early detection is critical.

Lethal Bronzing Disease (Palm Trees)

Formerly called Texas Phoenix Palm Decline, this bacterial disease is spreading rapidly through Fort Myers. It’s fatal to palms and requires immediate removal to prevent spread to neighboring trees.

Spiraling Whitefly

This pest primarily affects palms and other tropical plants, covering leaves with a white, waxy substance. While not typically fatal, it weakens trees and makes them more susceptible to other problems.

Lightning Strike Damage

Fort Myers is in Florida’s “Lightning Alley.” Trees struck by lightning often suffer internal damage that isn’t immediately visible. Our arborists can assess lightning-damaged trees and determine if they’re safe or need removal.
