Forested areas of Fiordland National Park generally are dominated by beech and podocarp species with understory of numerous ferns and shrubs; crown fern (Lomaria discolor) is an example of chief understory species.
Pomona Island is within this area of forest characterisation, and is almost entirely covered in native bush, with the forest also containing kāmahi and rātā.
Since the eradication of all introduced animal pests, the health of the island's flora and birdlife has increased noticeably.

Pomona Island, geologically a round-topped granite hill, has given its name to a mineral form known as Pomona Granite.
