Every now and then you'll see a "freed" iguana roaming the woods of northwest Florida. In the southern region of our state, they're everywhere. But in their native homeland, they serve an important role in the ecosystem.

Escambia Horticulture worked with a local pest control company to solve some small branch dieback on a Laurel oak.

You can prune out the branches below the entrance hole if you can reach them. Large trees will still form new growth behind the damaged area.
