'''Shrubs and Berry Plants'''
The shrubs and berry producing plants are the most common among the Icesteelian surface. The Hūna Berry Bush is the most bearing species of berry bushes, producing a red, sweet berry. This berry is used to make a special type of wine called Kwaha. Ferns and bushes cover the ground under the snow. The Tusuma Fern is one of these. They are a tiny red fern that grow up the sides of trees and building, causing a problem for Kais Termina homes as they would rot the wood. The Bubetuma Berry Vine (Glow berry vine) is also a common site across Kais Termina. The vine has been cultivated to create a sustainable food source for the people of the Icesteelian snow plane.
'''Trees'''

The two tree types that are in Icesteel are the Usīna and Tadīb. The Usīna tree is a type of spruce tree that grows to be 40-50 feet in height and able to take a heavy blanketing of snow from the cold and brutal Icesteelian blizzards. A very notable characteristic of this tree is the weeping needles of the tree. The bark of this tree contains a certain medicine that alleviates pain, so the blue-gray bark is usually brewed and drank as a painkiller.
The Tadīb tree is a combonation of the common maple tree and a coniferous tree. The leaves do not fall off in the winter and are a dark red all year round. The bark of this tree is somewhat soft, allowing the native people to collect the sap contained within the tree, giving them a natural sweetener that is used in coffee and tea across Arcadia. The tree has a network of roots connecting it to the other trees, allowing them to communicate and send nutrients to other trees. The tree usually grows 25 feet in height and has a wide trunk. The leaves also contain a medicine that treats bowel irritation and diarrhea when brewed.
