Healthy trees are valuable assets that increase property values, reduce energy costs, and improve quality of life. Branch Tree Service's Plant Health Care (PHC) programs go beyond reactive treatment to provide proactive, science-based management that keeps your trees thriving. Every PHC plan is developed by our ISA Board Certified Master Arborist based on your property's specific conditions and needs.
Comprehensive Tree Health Evaluation
Our PHC programs begin with a thorough assessment of your trees' health, including species identification, condition evaluation, soil analysis, and identification of any existing pest or disease issues. Our Master Arborist develops a customized care plan that addresses current problems and prevents future ones, using the most effective and environmentally responsible methods available.
Common Tree Health Issues in Brevard County
Central Florida trees face unique challenges including lethal bronzing disease, laurel wilt, various scale insects, whiteflies, and nutrient deficiencies common in our sandy soils. Our arborist stays current on emerging threats and treatment options, providing early detection and targeted treatment that saves trees and money compared to reactive approaches.
Commercial PHC Programs
For commercial properties, HOAs, and municipalities, we develop comprehensive PHC programs that maintain tree inventories, schedule preventive treatments, monitor for emerging issues, and provide detailed documentation of all care activities. These programs demonstrate proactive management that satisfies insurance requirements, reduces liability, and preserves valuable tree canopy.
Frequently Asked Questions
A PHC program is a comprehensive approach to maintaining tree health that includes regular monitoring, preventive treatments, soil management, and targeted interventions when problems are detected. Think of it as a wellness plan for your trees, focused on prevention rather than just treating problems after they appear.
Warning signs include unusual leaf discoloration or early leaf drop, thinning canopy, bark damage or fungal growth, wilting despite adequate water, and visible pest activity.

Many tree health issues can be successfully treated when caught early. Our ISA Board Certified Master Arborist has the expertise to accurately diagnose problems and determine whether treatment is likely to be successful.
