If you own property in Manatee or Sarasota County, you are surrounded by one of the most beautiful and unique ecosystems in the world. Our native trees, from the towering oaks to the resilient palms, are not just scenery; they are vital components of our environment, providing shade, supporting local wildlife, and defining the character of our coastal communities.
As Certified Arborists and local experts at Lamb Tree Care, we know that understanding these native species is the first step toward effective and sustainable property management.
Introducing the Lamb Tree Care Native Tree Hub

We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of our new comprehensive resource hub dedicated entirely to the native and naturalized trees of Manatee and Sarasota Counties! This resource will go live in December and will be your go-to guide for local arboriculture.
This hub is designed for homeowners, developers, and property managers who need expert knowledge on how to care for, manage, and protect their local flora.
What You Will Find in Our Upcoming Resource:
- Detailed Species Profiles: Get in-depth information on the growth habits, soil needs, and environmental benefits of local favorites like the Live Oak, Slash Pine, and various native palms.
- Pest & Disease Alerts: Stay ahead of regional threats with expert information on common issues like Lethal Bronzing in palms or laurel wilt, including signs to watch for and targeted tree injection solutions.
- The Right Way to Prune: Dive deep into species-specific tree trimming techniques. We’ll show you the ANSI-standard methods we use to ensure proper health and structure.
- Local Permitting Guides: Get clear, concise information on when and why you need permits for tree removal in Sarasota and Manatee counties.
The Value of Native Knowledge for Your Property
Caring for native trees is often simpler, more cost-effective, and much better for the environment than managing non-native species.
- Resilience: Native trees are naturally adapted to our climate, making them better equipped to withstand the high winds and heavy rains of our hurricane season, reducing the need for emergency tree removal services.
- Sustainability: They require less water, fertilizer, and pest intervention compared to non-native alternatives.
- Property Value: A well-maintained, healthy native tree can significantly increase your property’s curb appeal and overall value.
