Native trees in Toronto

Native trees in Toronto are

The type of trees growing across the city varies based on the soil condition in the area. Tree cover in the city prior to European settlement started from the shore line back. Settlement resulted in trees being cut for use in building homes and ships and for heating by early residents. The current tree cover (or canopy) in Toronto is estimated to be between 26.6 and 28%[1] and many trees are not native to the city. The city's Urban Forestry Services plants these trees on city property and encourages others in the city to do the same.^[2]
