Gardening for wildlife is rapidly increasing in popularity. Home landscapes can help offset the habitat loss that occurs in urban areas. This allows a greater variety of wildlife to live near us.
Plants are the key to attracting wildlife to your property. Your plant choices and your landscape design both will determine what animals you will attract. A yard landscaped with wildlife in mind need not appear "wild." A more traditional landscape design also can have great benefits.
There are several considerations to make in gardening for wildlife. A very important one is your choice of plants. In most cases, wildlife do best in landscapes with plants native to the region in which they live. These plants often are better at providing the food and cover that is required. When used in the proper location, naive plants also require less attention and water.
There are a great many native trees and shrubs to choose from in Florida. Every plant has some value to wildlife, but some are better than others. Tables 1, 2 and 3 list native Florida trees and shrubs that provide both food and cover. Not all of these are native to central Florida, but all of them can be grown
here. Also, many of these are not available from a wide variety of commercial sources at this time.
This list is intended to be as thorough as possible, but it is not complete. Information for wildlife with specific requirements such as hummingbirds (Florida's Hummingbirds, SS-WIS-21) and butterflies (Butterfly Gardening in Florida, SS-WIS-22) is available from a variety of other sources.
Plants listed as "tall trees" (greater than 30 feet at maturity) often are used best as a canopy (Table 1). These trees also produce shade. The "small trees" (30 feet or less) can be used below the canopy when they are shade-tolerant or as a low canopy in areas where large trees are not desired or appropriate (Table 2). Shrubs are used best near trees. Shrubs (Table 3) here are defined as woody plants that have a bushy form. Shade-tolerant shrubs can be planted directly beneath the canopy. Others can be planted at the edge of the shade zone so that they receive ample sunlight.
Some plants produce either male or female flowers. These are known as dioecious. Other plants produce both male and female flowers. These are called monoecious. Monoecious plants can set fruit

by themselves. For dioecious plants, you need to have both sexes nearby and only the female plants produce fruit. Because fruit production is important to a wildlife landscape, be aware of this when you make your plant choices. Consider the size of the fruit because large fruit may be difficult for small wildlife to use. Also be aware of the season when the fruit ripens and try to have food available throughout the year.
The best wildlife landscapes require a minimum amount of care. Frequent watering, fertilizing, spraying and pruning disturbs animals and limits their use of the area. Use plants that are adapted to existing growing conditions.
It also is important that your landscape be attractive to you. The column for aesthetics lists some characteristics of the plants that may be of interest to people. Balance your desires with the needs of the wildlife you wish to attract.
For more information on wildlife gardening contact the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission (620 S. Meridian St., Tallahassee, FL 32399-1600) for a copy of Planting a Refuge for Wildlife or your local County Cooperative Extension Service office.
The following is a key to the headings used in the tables:
1. Common name: The name most commonly used; others used in parentheses
2. Scientific name: The botanical name most commonly used; others used in parentheses
3. Hgt: Average height in feet of mature plant; plants may grow taller after many years under ideal conditions
4. Leaf type: (D) Deciduous, (S) Semi-deciduous, (E) Evergreen
5. Sex: (D) Dioecious - male and female flowers on separate trees, (M) Monoecious - male and female flowers on same tree
6. Moisture: Preferred soil moisture for best growth
7. Light: (S) Full sun, (P) Partial sun, (Sh) Shade
8. pH: Soil pH preferred: (Av) Wide pH tolerance, (Ac) Acid, (Al) Alkaline
9. Salt: Degree of salt tolerance: (H) High, (M) Medium, (N) Low to none, (U) Unknown
10. Wildlife use: Major uses for wildlife
11. Aesthetics: Aesthetic considerations
The following is a key to the footnotes used in the tables:
1. *Indicates plants that will suffer damage from severe or prolonged freezing temperatures.
2. **Oaks are classified as either black (B) or white (W). White oak acorns often are sweeter and more preferred by wildlife than black oak acorns.
