Florida's Nature - Landscape Trees

Go to Landscape Shrubs

Common South Florida landscaping trees, with the focus on native species. Native plants have advantages over imported species, being well adapted to local growing conditions and providing food, cover and nesting sites for Florida's animals

Selecting a native plant that thrives in a perpetually moist or wet soil, or on the other end of the spectrum one that does well in a dry, desert-like environment can save a huge amount of supplemental watering, fertilizer and pesticide application.
