Central Florida Vegetation

Metro Orlando - Metro Orlando and surrounding development areas

Pine Flatwoods

The most extensive terrestrial ecosystem in Florida. Characterized by flat topography, slash pine or longleaf pine overstory, and dense saw palmetto understory.

Mulching Note: Dense palmetto root systems require aggressive mulching. Expect 4-6" DBH palmetto trunks in mature stands.

Hardwood Hammocks

Closed canopy hardwood forests found on slightly elevated ground near lakes and rivers.

Mulching Note: Higher DBH oaks (12-24"+). Selective clearing often required to preserve specimen trees.

Orlando/Mount Dora Ridge Scrub

Ancient scrub habitat on sandy ridges, particularly around Mount Dora, Clermont, and parts of Orange County.

Mulching Note: Dense scrub oaks and sand pines. Well-drained sandy soil provides good equipment access.
⚠️ Florida scrub-jay habitat. Survey required before clearing.

Invasive Species in Oviedo

These invasive plants are common in Central Florida. Forestry mulching is one of the most effective removal methods.

Brazilian Pepper

high severity

Schinus terebinthifolius

~283,000 hectares invaded statewide. Forms dense thickets that choke out native vegetation.

Treatment: Mulching effective. Mulch layer suppresses regrowth.

Cogongrass

high severity

Imperata cylindrica

Aggressive grass invader. Razor-sharp leaves, deep rhizomes, explosive fire fuel.

Treatment: Mulching alone may spread - chemical treatment often needed in combination.

Air Potato

moderate severity

Dioscorea bulbifera

Vine that engulfs canopy and smothers native vegetation.

Treatment: Mulching effective when combined with bulbil removal.

Chinese Tallow

moderate severity

Triadica sebifera

Spreading northward. Fast-growing invasive tree that outcompetes native oaks and pines.

Treatment: Re-sprouts aggressively - may require follow-up treatment after mulching.
