This list provides basic information about all the plants that a creator can place in CAW, including where they would normally turn up in a real world environment. The Sims 3 is fiction, of course, so creators can place plants where they like, but this resource should help those who are aiming for a more realistic flora layout.

It is native to Asia and Europe, but cultivated in many countries.

It is therefore probably not ideal for crowding into gardens, preferring a bit of space to itself on the lot.

Palm trees are a botanical family of perennial liana, shrubs, and trees. They are the only members of the Arecaceae. Obviously they're commonly thought to be in subtropical and tropical areas, however, with the amount of diversity in the species, they can work in most worlds with hot enough climates (26-32 °C/80-90 °F weather more or less) even deserts or rain forests. They can be found both clustered and solitary. Technically, the palm tree can be placed in colder climates, but even the most robust ones of its species can only just barely survive with the temperature near -9 °C (15 °F). So generally, it's best not to place them within cold worlds, or if your world gets vastly colder weather during it's winter/fall period.
