Augusta National's 80,000 Plants Define Masters

Augusta National is home to over 80,000 flowering plants and trees, far exceeding the famous azaleas and dogwoods. The course, originally Fruitland Nurseries, features diverse species like the Golden Bell and Pampas grass, named specifically after the vegetation on each hole.

From the par-5 13th's 1,600 azalea bushes to the towering Pampas grass on the seventh hole, the botanical variety is integral to the course's identity, often surprising players like Scottie Scheffler.
