The purpose of this study was to explore the fermentation quality and in vitro digestion characteristics of tropical garden waste to provide a reference for feed utilization of tropical garden waste.In this study,after 30 days of ensiling,the fermentation quality and in vitro digestion parameters of ten garden plants(Hibiscus rosa-sinensis,Ruellia simplex,Pyrostegia venusta,Jasminum sambac,Cordyline fruticosa,Carmona micro-phylla,Bauhinia×blakeana)were determined.Among them,the crude protein content of silage of Pyrostegia venusta was the highest at 18.75%,the pH value of Areca triandra silage was the lowest(3.40),and the in vitro dry matter digestibility(72.44% )and gas production(55.95 mL)of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis were the high-est.Based on the nutrient composition,fermentation quality indexes and in vitro fermentation parameters of silages,the feed value of tropical garden wastes was evaluated in the order of Pyrospermum officinale>Hibis-cus rosa-sinensis>Murraya exotica>Bauhinia×blakeana>Jasminum sambac>Ruellia simplex>Cordyline fruticosa>Areca triandra>Caryota maxima>Carmona microphylla
