Plant Health Care: Protecting Commercial Landscapes After a Wet Winter
Plant Health Care: Protecting Commercial Landscapes After a Wet Winter
|

Southern California’s recent combination of heavy rain followed by warm, sunny days has accelerated growth across commercial landscapes — but it has also increased the risk of plant disease, fungal issues, and out-of-cycle fruiting in trees such as pears and olives. For managed properties, these conditions can quickly impact appearance, safety, and long-term plant performance if not addressed early.

What Plant Health Care means for commercial properties

Plant Health Care (PHC) is a proactive, science-based approach to landscape management. Rather than reacting to visible decline, PHC focuses on early identification of stress, disease, and pest pressure, paired with targeted solutions that support plant resilience. This approach helps protect your landscape investment while maintaining consistent curb appeal across your site.

Why Timing Matters Right Now

Extended soil moisture followed by rising temperatures creates ideal conditions for fungal diseases and stress-related decline. In commercial settings, this can show up as leaf spotting, thinning canopies, premature fruit drop, or uneven growth — all of which can affect property appearance and tenant perception. Trees already under stress are also more vulnerable to pest activity as spring approaches.

How Plant Health Care supports your property

  • Early detection and monitoring to catch issues before they spread
  • Irrigation adjustments to balance plant needs after prolonged rainfall
  • Targeted treatments based on plant type, site conditions, and usage
  • Preventative care that reduces long-term replacement and repair costs
