Hurricane preparation is a year-round consideration in Miami, with structural pruning to reduce wind sail on large canopy specimens being one of the most critical annual services. ISA-certified arborists familiar with tropical species are essential, especially for the large banyans and ficus common in Coral Gables and Coconut Grove.
