You shouldn’t leave tree-picking to chance. Top Quality: Trees and Shrubs Our eight tree farms are located in the Redland(s), an agricultural community in Miami-Dade County with a subtropical climate, and grow over 300 different trees, shrubs, and palms. We offer a diverse range of both native and non-native trees, each demonstrating exceptional performance in our environment. All our trees are ready to take central spots on your upcoming landscape project! You can use them as a focal point, an accent tree, to offer shade, or to form the tightest privacy hedges. Setting quality standards alone is not enough; we understand that when working on your landscape project, you need a tree source who is an ally and can help ensure the expected outcome! Here are three reasons why TreeWorld Wholesale is prepared to be your tree source. 1. Pick trees and the right partner Maximize the potential of your design by partnering with a company like ours, which not only offers an extensive portfolio of trees to choose from but also understands the symbiotic relationships between plants. We will guide you according to your goals and assist you in creating the environment you envision. Selecting trees requires careful consideration of their dynamics and seasonal behavior. As the general manager and owner of TreeWorld Wholesale always says: “You need to understand the project, not only the requirements. Sometimes people stop by to ask for a tree they’ve got in mind, but what a client needs is not always a suitable fit. Therefore, it’s crucial to have options that meet long-term requirements, particularly when it comes to nature.” So as a company, we take a lot of effort to understand every facet of each project, as we recognize that buying a tree is an investment. 2. Careful landscape planning aims for long-term gratification As we have mentioned before, a design often starts with an idea, a main concept, and a sturdy foundation aligned with the user’s objectives, whether it be for a residence or urban landscaping. However, we must also understand that a tree is a living entity. A tree inevitably undergoes changes and adapts to its environment. Choosing the right trees is crucial, especially when planning for the long term. First, confirm that the selected tree will flourish in the area and require proper maintenance, even if it undergoes changes over time. If the tree and design are appropriate, each season will reveal its own beauty and spark interest. This is why it’s essential to carefully plan your landscape design and select the right trees for your objectives. And to reach your goal, TreeWorld is here to help and walk you through everything we have. Our friends at La Casona Garden Design recently referred to us as a: “portal of possibility to create exuberant garden designs, providing an impressive selection […]

Coastal Landscape Design
Coastal landscape design is nothing new in Florida; it is a fundamental aspect of landscape architecture. When it comes to this practice, there is a lot to invest in and consider in order to guarantee not only a beautiful one, but a sustainable and resilient one as well. Because the coastal region is naturally challenging due to its susceptibility to various weather conditions, including heavy winds, hurricanes, and tropical storms, it also experiences significant exposure to salt, drought, and, naturally, heat stress. Plus, coastal areas are susceptible to erosion from both wind and water, which can lead to soil loss and destabilization of the landscape. However, as is often the case in nature, when faced with challenges, trees provide both the solution and the opportunity to thrive in this environment. This includes implementing natural windbreaks, strategically placing plants, considering water conservation techniques, and using native plants to reduce erosion. Coastal landscape and design: key considerations Salt-tolerant trees When you have both coastal landscape and design together in a project, there are some key considerations to keep in mind. Selecting salt-tolerant trees is critical. It’s important to keep in mind that these trees will encounter harsh conditions. So, trees like the native Conocarpus erectus, commonly known as buttonwood, are a versatile and resilient choice. Especially in Florida and the Caribbean. Their two primary varieties, the Green Buttonwood and the Silver Buttonwood (Conocarpus erectus var. sericeus), are well suited to coastal conditions; they are both highly salt-tolerant and thrive in poor soil conditions. Both are aesthetically pleasing, as the silver buttonwood’s distinctive foliage provides a striking contrast in the landscape, while the green buttonwood offers lush greenery. They serve as excellent options for privacy hedges and windbreaks. Another salt-tolerant option, the Southern Live Oak (Quercus virginiana), thrives in sandy, saline soils and is commonly found along the southeastern coast of the United States. Moreover, the native Clusia rosea (Pitcha apple) and the kamani tree (Calpohyllum inophyllum) are the most salt-tolerant options. For more information and additional options, please visit our tree section. Erosion control and soil stabilization Furthermore, coastal regions are prone to erosion due to wind, water, and storm surges. So, implementing measures to control erosion, such as including native trees and an extensive root system, will help control erosion and soil stabilization. Roots act as anchors, stabilizing the soil and decreasing the probability of erosion due to water runoff or wind. Considering that coastal soils have poor fertility and drainage, you need to be very clever about your choices when it comes to coastal design and landscape. For instance, the native Coccoloba uvifera, best known as the sea grape, is a wonderful choice. It is quite effective at managing erosion. Its extensive root system aids in binding the soil together, significantly reducing the risk of erosion due to water runoff or wind pressure. Heavy rains or high tides can’t wash it away. Wind resistance Being on the shore, an area prone to severe winds, tropical storms, and hurricanes, calls for some wind-resistant trees to protect the landscape. But exactly what makes a sturdy, wind-resistant tree? It starts off with a […]

A Guide to the Best Mixed Hedges Ideas
Hedges play a crucial role in landscape design, particularly now when privacy buffers are essential. Homeowners are really protecting their spaces from curious eyes. Hedges, while preferred for separating or dividing areas, also offer protection against intrusions and air and sound pollution. Given this topic’s popularity, we frequently receive the following inquiries: How to plant a perfect mixed hedge? Depending on the nature of the landscape project, you can take several crucial steps to create your ideal hedge. For starters, select the appropriate trees. Choose plants that are well-suited to your climate, soil, and the specific requirements of your mixed hedge (height, width, growth rate, etc.). Space them correctly in your landscape plan; this is critical to avoiding overcrowding. A general formula you can look into is to divide the mature spread of the plant in two. So, for instance, if the mature spread is 6 feet, you should space the trees a few feet apart. For more information and a specification guide for our trees, check our specification guide charts. Finally, maintenance, proper pruning, watering, and fertilizing are important. By following these guidelines, you can create a beautiful and functional mixed hedge that provides privacy, defines boundaries, and enhances the aesthetics of your landscape. Mixed Hedges However, with that in mind, we do know that landscaping trends such as mixed hedges are moving towards more sustainable, visually interesting, and multifunctional designs. By incorporating these trends, homeowners and designers can create beautiful, environmentally friendly, and low-maintenance privacy hedges. By adding two or more trees to your hedges, your design will benefit from a healthier and more resilient outcome. If one tree struggles due to climate change or other factors, the others can continue to flourish, guaranteeing the hedge’s continued health and functionality. Plus, since you can play around with textures, colors, and growth habits, it’s bound to be a lot more interesting. The best plants for mixed hedges – Ideas So, let’s address the question: Which plants are good for mixed hedges? There’s no definitive answer to this. Everything depends on the specific project and landscape goal. With a lot of creativity and experience at TreeWorld Wholesale, we’ve managed to pick some of our favorite combinations as a hopeful guide for you! 1.The best-performing hedge combination: Calophyllum Brasiliense and Bayrum Tree Two Caribbean natives have conquered the South Florida landscape, filling our first spot of mix-and-match hedges. Their lush green foliage, alluring beauty, and top performance allow them to fit into various landscape designs. On one hand, the Bayrum tree (Pimenta Racemosa) has a dense, columnar crown, providing structure, while the Calophyllum brasiliensis (Brazil Beautyleaf) has a dense, rounded crown, adding volume. This allows for a captivating blend of these two evergreen trees that complement each other. Plus, the fast at-first growth rate of Calophyllum brasiliensis allows the hedge to settle while the Bay rum tree contributes to the structure. 2. Airtight Windbreak: Norohnia emarginata + Clusia rosea The combination of Norohnia emarginata (Madagascar Olive) and Clusia rosea (Pitch Apple Tree) creates a tight barrier. As they balance themselves out, they achieve a high density effect, allowing them to perform […]
