Yep, the ordinance was finally passed on July 20th that allows for the eradication of this nasty invasive “weed”, the Brazilian Pepper Tree, that has the potential to change the entire foliage habitat here on Sanibel Island if continued to let thrive untouched!
Property owners in Zone 5 (see map below) have 90 days until October 20th to cut down and “treat” the stump and roots with the appropriate herbicide. You can read details as to how to do this here: Brazilian Pepper Tree Treatment

Enjoy your weekend!
