The Benefits of Planting Trees:

There are so many benefits to planting trees on your property!

Beyond enhancing your home's beauty, adding curb appeal and increasing its market value, trees clean the air, offer shade, and lower outdoor temperatures. Trees act as natural air filters, absorbing pollutants and producing oxygen, which improves overall air quality. They play a crucial role in combating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide, thereby reducing greenhouse gas levels. Trees also provide critical habitats for wildlife, supporting biodiversity and maintaining balanced ecosystems.

Factors to consider when planting or installing a tree:

When making a decision as to what type of tree you would like installed there are many factors to be considered.

🌳 What type of tree would thrive on your property?

🌳 What kind of care does this tree need?

🌳 How big would this tree get?

These and more are questions that our Smithwell team can help you with. It is not advised that just any tree is installed on your property or a tree that you are not fully knowledgeable about. We have experts in the field and truly are knowledgeable about the plant materials we offer, to ensure they can thrive in their new surrounding on your property. Planting a tree that does not suit the climate or surroundings can lead to stunted growth, increased vulnerability to pests and diseases, and ultimately, the tree’s premature death, disrupting the local ecosystem and landscape harmony.

So, once you have been paired with the perfect tree for your property and your lifestyle, the next important factor to consider is caring for this investment property. After investing so much time trying to find the right tree to install the last thing you would want is for it not to thrive because of a lack of proper care.

What does it take to properly maintain a healthy tree?

It takes a lot of know how and continual care to maintain a healthy tree. To thrive, a tree needs to receive regular and consistent watering, pruning, trimming, fertilizing and possibly staking.

Smithwell has the years under our belts and the team that know how to properly care for trees.

Why planting trees is so beneficial - continued:

In urban areas, trees help mitigate the heat island effect by providing shade and releasing moisture into the atmosphere, resulting in cooler temperatures and reduced energy consumption for air conditioning. Their root systems prevent soil erosion, promote groundwater recharge, and enhance water quality by filtering runoff. Additionally, green spaces created by trees contribute to mental health and well-being, offering peaceful environments that reduce stress and encourage physical activity.

From an economic perspective, property values rise in tree-lined neighborhoods, and communities benefit from decreased healthcare costs due to improved air quality and increased opportunities for outdoor recreation. In essence, planting trees is a sustainable investment that enriches the environment, economy, and quality of life.

Central Florida's native tree species reflect its subtropical climate and diverse ecosystems. Common native trees include:

  • Live Oak (Quercus virginiana): Known for its sprawling, majestic canopy and evergreen leaves.

  • Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora): Recognizable by its large, fragrant white flowers and glossy leaves.

  • Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum): Often found in wetlands, identifiable by its feathery foliage and “knees” protruding from the water.

  • Slash Pine (Pinus elliottii): A fast-growing pine with long needles, common in upland forests.

  • Red Maple (Acer rubrum): Adaptable and widespread, with brilliant red fall foliage.

  • Sabal Palm (Sabal palmetto): The state tree of Florida, featuring fan-shaped fronds.

  • Sweetgum (Liquidambar styraciflua): Noted for its star-shaped leaves and spiky fruit balls.

  • Cabbage Palm (Sabal palmetto): A hardy palm species often found in hammocks and flatwoods.

These species contribute to the ecological richness and scenic beauty characteristic of Central Florida’s natural landscapes.
