Native trees in Ottawa are trees that are naturally growing in Ottawa, Ontario and were not later introduced by humans. Many of Ottawa's native trees have been displaced by non-native plants and trees introduced by settlers from Europe and Asia from the 18th century to the present. Most of the native trees are found in the Greenbelt, parks, and along the Rideau and Ottawa rivers.
The types of trees growing across the city vary based on the soil conditions 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 city's Urban Forestry Services plants these trees on city property and encourages others in the city to do the same. [1]

This guide excludes conifers and is not an exhaustive list of all trees known to occur in the region.

Native trees in Toronto are trees that are naturally growing in Toronto and were not later introduced by humans. The area that presently comprise Toronto is a part of the Carolinian forest, although agricultural and urban developments destroyed significant portions of that life zone. In addition, many of Toronto's native trees have been displaced by non-native plants and trees introduced by settlers from Europe and Asia from the 18th century to the present. Most of the native trees are found in the Toronto ravine system, parks, and along the Toronto waterway system.
