Landour is for the most part (unlike largely deforested Mussoorie) carpeted by old-growth forests of deodar cedar, Himalayan oak, chir pine, blue pine, West Himalayan fir, Himalayan maple, rhododendron, Himalayan manna ash and other tree species. Landour's north-facing slopes have more deodar and fir than other species; the south-facing slopes have more oak than other species. Pines are at lower elevations than deodar and fir, true to form. Among introduced species, the adaptable "Platycladus" (Hindi: "morpankhi") does well, and Oriental plane (Hindi: "chinar") too are seen. A logging ban has long been in place in the reserved forests around Landour, and the ban is reasonably well enforced.
