Common KY Trees
Kentucky’s trees are beautiful, beneficial, valuable and very numerous. Kentucky has more than 12 million acres of forest and this forest is incredibly diverse with more than 120 different tree species. Kentucky owes a great deal of its tree diversity to our geographical location and our wide variety of habitats from the mountains of eastern Kentucky to the bottomlands of western Kentucky.
