For the past ten years, we have dedicated ourselves to treating our trees, conducting research, and raising awareness about Lethal Bronzing (previously known as Texas Phoenix Palm Decline). This disease not only affects our landscapes and finances but also threatens the very livelihood of all Floridians. Sabal palms are vital for maintaining Florida's wetlands, and their loss would have a ripple effect on everything from tourism to the deer that rely on their fruit.

Regrettably, it has only recently started to receive significant attention from the industry and media. To make a real impact and prevent this disease from altering Florida's landscape and economic stability for years to come, we must all collaborate.

We encourage you to visit the link below to explore the research and data we have gathered over the years. Our goal is not to profit from this disease; rather, we aim to protect the future of Florida's landscape and the growing list of palm trees that are threatened by Lethal Bronzing.

Sunscape has been treating all of our date palms with OTC for years.

Because of this, we have one of the very few Lethal Bronzing FREE Sylvester fields in the state. Rather than making a quick buck selling off a bunch of sick trees cheap, we have spent the time and money to ensure our palms are disease free.

Shipping sick palm trees has only helped the spread of Lethal Bronzing. That is why we inject our palms with a 4 stage preventative treatment.

It is recommended that you inject each tree with 4 different solutions

1st - OTC (Oxytetracycline Chloride) to prevent LBD

2nd - Imidacloprid to keep the biting leaf hoppers away

3rd - Phosphorous acid a systemic fungicide and resistance activator

4th - Nutrition - Like PalmJet
