South Carolina’s diverse landscape includes coastal salt marshes, pine forests, and rich hardwood ecosystems, supporting over 100 native tree species. The coastal areas feature salt-tolerant trees like southern pines, while the inland forests thrive with species such as eastern red cedar and live oak.

South Carolina’s state tree is the Sabal palmetto, commonly known as the palmetto tree. As a monocot, it is more closely related to grasses than traditional trees. Unlike broad-canopy trees, the palmetto has a tall, straight trunk with fan-like fronds, providing minimal shade. For better shade, consider planting a native canopy tree suited to the region.
