A couple great pick for Florida winter from your local lawn service provider
- Varieties within the Camellia species are good plants for the Florida landscape and bloom in the winter. The Japanese camellia (Camellia japonica), for example, is a shrub that displays white or near white flowers and glossy, evergreen foliage. Requiring light shade to full sun, the Japanese camellia grows around 4 to 6 feet.
- Deciduous holly (Ilex decidua) is a shrub that belongs to the Ilex species and is well-suited to Florida's climate. It has white flowers in the summer and orange to scarlet berries in fall and winter with deciduous foliage. Thriving in sun to partial shade, deciduous holly plants grow as high as 20 to 30 feet.
- Cleyera plants (Cleyera japonica), also called "tricolor" or Japanesecleyera, are evergreen shrubs that do pretty good as winter plants for Florida. They display reddish foliage in winter. Cleyeras also have a fragrant creamy white flowers, and are grown for their evergreen foliage. Needing light to full shade, cleyeras reach grow as high as 8 to 12 feet.

Palm tree facts and Maintenance

There is said to be 2,600 species within the palm family with a wide variety of physical traits.
Most exist in the tropics, but some come from the Mediterranean, southern Europe, the tropics of Asia and Africa, as well as South America and southern regions of the United States.
Palm trees are known to be monopodial, meaning coming from one stem. In most palm trees, the stems tend to be covered with stiff fibers

Fruit
Certain types of palm trees develop fruit and some edible fruit.
The coconut palm and date palm grow fruit of the same names. Other types of palms bear edible fruit including the Guadelupe palm, jelly palm, Chilean wine palm and California fan palm. The fruit of these palms vary in texture, flavor and color.
Trimming
Some palms shed the fronds naturally while other delay the process. Many palm tree varieties need manual pruning. You should not prune the fronds too close to the trunk. Pruning excessively can lead to increased vulnerability to diseases along with limiting the tree’s ability to tolerate warm conditions.

Water
Palms are the Great choice for low-maintenance landscapes but most species need only a bare minimum of water to survive.
Palms are the Great choice for low-maintenance landscapes but most species need only a bare minimum of water to survive.
cold tolerance
Most palm trees that live in tropical environments are not very cold tolerant at all. Most will die or become extremely damaged in temperatures that dip below freezing, but some have the ability to withstand cold temperatures. The most cold-hardy palm is generally considered to be the needle palm. This palm is planted outside with very little protection in areas as far north as New York City. It can withstand temperatures as low as 20 degrees below zero.
My personal favorites are.

Benefits and facts of mulch, from Orbitalawn your Wesley Chapel and Zephyrhills Lawn company
A mulch layer around trees, shrubs and planted beds and covering bare ground provides many benefits. In areas that are hard to mow, irrigate or maintain. Also consider placing mulch in shady areas where plants don’t grow well.
Organic mulch materials improve soil fertility as they turn into great top soil.
Mulch buffers soil temperature, keeping the soil warmer in winter months and cooler in summer months.
Mulch helps maintain soil moisture by reducing evaporation thus minimizing water needs for established plants.
Fresh mulch inhibits weed germination and growth.
Mulch improve soil aeration, structure and drainage.
Mulch around trees and shrubs eases maintenance and reduces the likelihood of damage from string trimmers.
Mulch gives planting beds a neat and uniform appearance, adding a contrast of color and texture that complement your landscape.
How Much Mulch?
Generally about 2-inch to 3-inch layer of mulch. Pine nuggets, can be applied to a depth of 4 inches.
Mulch applied too deeply, hinders oxygen to roots, which stresses the plant and causes root rot. Do not place mulch on top of a tree’s root ball or against the trunk..
We try to avoid cypress mulch because harvesting from the wild depletes wetlands.
Shell, crushed stone or pebbles sometimes are used as mulch, but they won’t contribute to the soil’s nutrient and organic content or moisture capacity.
Limestone and shell both raise soil pH. They also reflect heat, increasing the water needs of plants.
Weed barriers, I like to use them when dealing with Rock or shell mulch, but try to avoid it when using organic mulches because the much breaks down turning into great top soil as pointed out earlier. once it is or has broken down weeds move in and are that much harder to remove them. Try new paper instead. I use news paper about 4 layers thick lay it down and place it with hand fulls of mulch. Yes the new paper will break down but by the times It does the weeds that were beneath it would have expired.
I hope todays Tips help you with your mulch questions.

Bromeliads- Ideas from your Lawn service company
BROMELIADS are an unusual and diverse family of plants. They produce a spectacular array of small flowers on beautiful spikes or inflorescences with dozens of subtle flowers; other species have dozens of quite small delicate flowers in a rosette cup. Some species are large with long belt-like leaves, and some are small with curved, course, thin leaves. Many are natural epiphytes (attached to another living plant), but some grow on rocks; several species grow in the ground. Many species derive some of their moisture from the air, and many have a pool of water in a "cup" formed by the closely overlapping leaves. The foliage is colorful with greens, browns, reds, and yellows. Many factors cause bromeliads to bloom such as age of plant, length of day, light intensity, water and temperature.
These plants are easy to maintain outside or indoors, and they are gaining popularity. They make great houseplants and can take unfavorable growing conditions. Did you know Pineapples and Spanish moss are Bromeliads?
Consider Bromeliads in your flower bed!
