An expansive avenue of Hill's Weeping Figs (Ficus microcarpa), which are the predominant trees in the park planted from the 1930s, run from St James Road to Park Street (Hyde Park North) and continue on to the Pool of Reflection (Hyde Park South).
There are a number of Moreton Bay Figs and Port Jackson Figs.
Minority tree species found in the park include:
Araucaria cunninghamii
Araucaria columnaris
Agathis robusta
Pinus roxburghii
Stenocarpus sinuatus
Ficus religiosa
Lophostemon confertus
Platanus x acerifolia
Afrocarpus falcatus
Quercus ilex
Quercus robur
Washingtonia robusta
Phoenix canariensis
Phoenix reclinata
Phoenix dactylifera
Phoenix rupicola
Butia capitata
Livistona australis
Between 2004 and 2005 a number of disease-affected trees were discovered and felled.
Following investigations a significant proportion of the trees were found to be infected with three different fungi.
In 2006, a Tree Management Plan recommended the removal of about 230 diseased trees to be progressively replaced over time, and aimed to keep the majority of the park's trees for as long as possible by increasing the ratio of examinations and mending.
