Florida Trees When considering trees that grow best in Florida, known as the Sunshine State, many people seek shade trees for their home landscapes. Planting trees in Florida will depend most on where you live – whether in Miami, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tallahassee, or Tampa Bay – and how you want to use the tree. The Florida state tree is the Palmetto Palm, a tree that grows up to 80ft. tall on a straight trunk, with a short rounded crown of palmetto leaves at the top. The official Florida state soil is called Myakka, a native soil of Florida not occurring in any other state. There are more than one and one half million acres of Myakka (pronounced My-yak-ah'—Indian word for Big Waters) soil in Florida. It is the most extensive soil in the state. The most beautiful Florida landscaping is usually a mixture of different types of Florida palm trees and shade trees that grow well in Florida, as well as flowering trees, cypress trees and fruit trees. Choose trees that can adapt to the soil type in your specific area of Florida. The Best Trees for Planting in Florida Other outstanding Florida tree choices will include specimens that are highly adaptable to Florida climate conditions, demonstrating drought-resistance as well as mildew, insect and disease resistance. Look for types of trees that are fast growing, hardy, and are perhaps even native Florida trees such as flowering dogwoods. For shade from that bright Florida sun, we suggest oak trees, ash trees, or tulip poplar trees. An excellent Florida landscaping tree is the weeping willow, lovely when planted at water’s edge shade tree. Top it all off with flowering trees that grow well in Florida.
