Black mangrove trees are found in slightly drier locations than their red and upriver orange cousins. The black mangrove seeds in poorly oxygenated mud and have roots that come up to the surface much like breathing tubes.
A tree's roots need oxygen respire, or "breathe." There are very few species that can live in a permanently waterlogged soil such as the pond cypress and mangrove trees.
Protect yourself and your property. Hire a professional arborist to remove tree limbs that have fallen or been damaged by adverse weather conditions. We can also remove branches and thin your tree out to increase light penetration.
Did you know that you could permanently harm your tree by incorrect placement and improper care? For this reason, it's very important that you understand your tree needs early attention after planting, and correct care and attention as it matures.
Did you know that dead or weak limbs on your tree could pose a hazard, or may even lead to decay of your tree? This is one of the many reasons you should have these branches removed by an arborist.
It is very important to understand what type of soil is on your property. Clay type soils retain moisture while sandy soils drain water faster. Plant the right trees for the right soil types and you'll have happy trees!
