From time to time, a tree in your yard may need to be removed for various reasons ( tree died, home room addition/construction, pool installation, etc.), but by county standards an approved county “code” replacement tree must be planted in its place. Hence, the terminology “code” tree comes to play. A code tree is a county approved replacement tree.
Each Florida county may have different approved code trees, so please confer with your specific county for the most up to date and accurate code tree guidelines and regulations.
