sorry.. i cant ID a FL tree .... but ....

even evergreen trees shed leaves annually ... usually during winter.. whatever that might be in FL ... lol ... but it would time back to you saying that it started 3 months ago ...

to this MI boy... it seems like a tall tree.. too close to a house.. in a severe storm area ... it might be time to get rid of it ...not to mention that whole pool issue ... reason number two to get rid of it ... and i dont even have to know what it is .. to come to those conclusions ...

welcome to the forums ....

Whatever it is it isn't an elm. It has compound pinnate leaves.

And also produces some kind of skinny things that an elm wouldn't have either. Since based on the one shot it is apparently making new growth it could in fact be the shedding is the annual dropping of the oldest leaves coinciding with the appearance of new ones. Unless so many of them fall off that the tree starts becoming visibly less well furnished than it used to be.

Pretty sure not any elm I'm familiar with - wrong kind of leaves. It reminds me of a hickory tree, with that shaggy bark.

And many of those fallen leaves look more like oak, not the ones on that tree. Are there any other trees or shrubs nearby?

And yes, even our 'evergreen' trees like Live oaks seasonally drop their old leaves as new growth emerges. I'm willing to bet that's what's happening here.

You might try posting these pictures on the Name That Plant forum. Someone there might be able to I.D. it for you

I thought the skinny things were petioles. The individual leaves I assumed were leaflets from the compound leaves. They look the same and there are some yellow ones still on the tree.

Ana, can you tell us if this tree is evergreen?

Just wanted to add I don't think your tree is dying...

Thank you all for your reply and advise. I don't think I would remove it since it give shade to the pool and it one of the tallest trees in my neighborhood.

I do have palm tree, like 12 feet away, that died last March, it lost all the leaves and just died. I don't know what happened, I was overseas, and dis come back until August. think it got strock by lightning, because I could see a line on the side. It was very old since it is super tall. I haven't removed it, probably should, right now it's just a home for 8 wood peckers. (Pictures when it died)

I think my tree it's an evergreen... I don't know if it is a Simarouba glauca as suggested, since I haven't seen any flowers or fruits.

I will definitely post on identify my tree with extra pictures and update

Thanks!

Disease can kill palms too. There's one here in FL that's killing sabal palms, and others - bronzing(?)
