Sago Palm, Cycas Revoluta.  A very common decorative plant throughout Florida.  It is called a palm, but is actually not a palm at all.  It is a Cycad, which is a very primitive plant species related to the fern.  Sago Palms are susceptible to root rot, so soils with excellent drainage are recommended.  It is apparently considered a delicacy by the plant damaging insect known as scale.  I have only seen one sago palm without any scale present.  Most are covered by the disease, but Sagos are not overly impacted by its presence.

The Washington Palm (washingtonia Robusta), also known as a Mexican Washington Palm.  Trees will tolerate soils and drought. Prune sparingly.  They can grow to 60′-100′ feet.
Range:   Not native to North America (USDA Hardiness Zones 9 through 11- central and southern Florida; southern Louisiana, Texas, Arizona and Nevada; and coastal and central California.)

On closely cut turf like golf courses, the dollar spot appears as circular, brown to light-brown embedded spots about the size of a silver dollar. In coarser grasses like St. Augustine, maintained at taller cutting heights, the dead spots are larger and less symmetrical, and can be confused with brown patch. Dollar spot can be distinguished by lesions on the leaf blades along the borders of infected areas. The lesions are typically gray or brown int he center with reddish-brown borders. Read more »

There are very few grasses used in our lawns today that are actually native to America and specifically Florida. Most were imported from various parts of the world and have since been bred and cross-bred and genetically altered to become more suitable to various climates, to be resistant to disease and insects, and to be esthetically appealing. Although there are quite a few varieties available, listed are only the most common grass types in Central Florida: Bermuda, Bahia, and St Augustine. Read more »

Brown Patch is most common to Bermuda and St. Augustine grass throughout Florida.   Brown patch commonly starts as a small spot and can quickly spread outwards in a circular or horseshoe pattern up to a couple of feet wide. Often times, while expanding outwards, the inside of the circle will recover, leaving the brown areas resembling a smoke-ring, or multiple smoke rings as it expands.
