South Florida is a beautiful place. Filled with glooming plants, beautiful trees, shrubs, palms and greenery almost everywhere, South Florida is a place of landscapes and nurseries. Whether you are new to the area, or a resident, you will definitely find drought-tolerant-trees, fast growing trees, bushes, shrubs, amazing gardens and landscapes in the sub-tropical state. This post highlights two major landscape attractions that can be easily sighted in South Florida.


You can easily find live oak trees in South Florida, Miami. Belonging to the Quercus genus of the beech family, Fagaceae, live oak is known for increasing the property value. Highly wind resistant (even at the time of hurricane), oak trees are known for their longer life and providing staves for barrels, timber for ships, lumber for flooring and fine furniture pieces. The southern live oak offers food & shelter to the wildlife and shade, as well. The live oak tree requires very little amount of water, chemical pests controls and fertilizers, but requires space. However, it is feasible to go for a garden and live oak, at the same time.

Next are, crotons in South Florida, Miami. Crotons are massively used for adding color in the landscapes and nurseries. Extremely popular in tropical gardens, crotons are drought-tolerant and grow in full sun or partial shade. Colorful and appealing, crotons come in a vast selection of leaf structures and a wide string of colors like yellow, red, pink, orange, green, white and purple.

So, if you want your own landscape, start with creating a design and then go for above mentioned two prime elements that would accentuate the beauty of your very own exquisite land area.
