San Diego's Palm Weevil Treatment Experts

Preventive Treatment for San Diego’s Most Valuable Palms

The Annual Mature Palm Protection Program provides scheduled, licensed preventive treatment for South American palm weevil (SAPW) on mature Canary Island date palms and other appropriate high-value specimens.

Annual Mature Palm Protection Program

Four scheduled visits. One year of protection.

SAPW can advance inside a palm before severe crown decline is visible. SDPP handles the recurring preventive-treatment schedule so protection does not depend on the owner remembering the next visit.

Urgent, owner-led care for palms that matter.
