In sunny South Florida, where tropical fruit trees flourish, rodents can lurk around the corner.
Iguanas, raccoons, mice, squirrels and other animals find your juicy fruits and leafy branches just as tempting as you do, making pest control a crucial part of enjoying your bountiful harvest.
Fruit tree problems:
When you plant a fruit tree in Garden Patio Villas, we ask you to pick the fruit during harvest. If the fruit falls to the ground, it is your responsibility to pick it up every day!
Fighting Back:
Garden Patio Villas does allow Members to plant fruit trees! Our Governing Documents require Members to complete a Planting form and submit it to the Board for review. Please note any plantings are allowed only within your own property boundaries. Requirements and measurements in preparing for the fruit tree is a MUST!
Planting Requirements include:
Remember, protecting your tropical fruit trees from rodents is an ongoing battle. By combining preventative measures with targeted control methods, you can enjoy the fruits of your labor without unwanted rodents sharing your harvest.
Living in Garden Patio Villas we allow the enjoyment of growing fruit trees. Members must first be aware of the fruit tree problems in South Florida and follow all the requirements before you pursue planting your tropical fruit tree!
Any tree planted on a Member’s property must be maintained at the Member’s own expense. Fruit trees and plantings must be kept free from fruits collecting on the grounds. Any irrigation, utility lines or sewer pipes, broken by plantings, will be the Member’s sole responsibility and expense.
Having a tropical fruit tree is great but it is also a lot of hard work and effort. Enjoy your mangos, avocados, coconuts, bananas, papayas and many other such wonderful tropical fruits in our HOA!
Garden Patio Villas is located in Margate, Florida.
