Panther's forests are for the most part typical of the Catskills, with [[beech]]-[[birch]]-[[maple]] northern [[hardwood]] forests on its lower slopes giving way to [[boreal forest]]s of [[balsam fir]] and [[red spruce]] above 3,500 feet on the mountain. There is a rare virgin spruce grove near the summit. While much of the lower slopes were logged in the 19th century, particularly for [[Eastern Hemlock|Eastern hemlock]] bark and its [[tannin]], the upper mountain remains in [[old-growth forest|first growth]].
 
According to [[Michael Kudish]], there is a rare virgin spruce grove near the summit.
