This list catalogs the trees in Quebec. It includes 140 tree species, of which 99 are native, 40 are introduced, and one is extirpated, the Smooth sumac.

Contents

The list is based on two sources: Trees of Canada, 2017 by John Laird Farrar [1] and VASCAN, the Database of Vascular Plants of Canada. [2] For each species, the binomial name is given followed by the author citation, the common name, and its status in the province: native, introduced, or extirpated. The common names and status come from VASCAN. The status – native or introduced – specifically concerns the territory of Quebec: a species may be introduced or naturalized in the province but native elsewhere in Canada.
