🌳 Common Tree Species in Brisbane & How to Maintain Them 🌳

Brisbane’s subtropical climate is home to a wide variety of trees – from towering gum trees to vibrant jacarandas and fiery poincianas. While these species add beauty, shade, and value to your property, they also need the right care to stay safe and healthy.

✅ Gum Trees – Majestic but prone to sudden limb drop. Regular inspections and lopping reduce risks, especially before storm season.
✅ Jacarandas – Famous for their purple blooms, but they need pruning to maintain strong branch structure.
✅ Poincianas – Stunning red flowers and wide canopies, but heavy limbs must be thinned to avoid storm damage.
✅ Mango Trees – A Brisbane backyard favourite, yet they quickly overgrow without annual pruning.
✅ Palm Trees – Iconic, but messy. Professional maintenance prevents falling fronds and seed pods becoming hazards.
