We
are known for our trees. Plain and simple, you will not
find a better
selection any where in South Texas and you won’t find
anyone with better prices.
Remember, trees are sold based
on their pot size but the actual size of a tree can vary
greatly.
Our 10 gallon trees are usually the same size as other
nursery’s
15 gallon trees.
We sell only tried and true varieties, grown locally for
better performance in our differing soils and environments.
Trees
grown in East Texas or Louisiana don’t always like our
alkaline soil and many will turn yellow after a few years and
won’t thrive.
We carry a huge selection of shrubs and small specimen
trees such as crape myrtles, hollies, nandinas and more.
Our knowledgeable
staff can help you make a plan for your garden, will show
you the right way to plant to insure success or better
yet, we’ll
plant any tree valued at $100.00 or more for free and planting
of other trees and shrubs is available at very reasonable
rates and are also fall under the same great guarantee.
We regularly offer free weekend seminars on how to plant,
prune, fertilize and select trees and shrubs. Please check
our newsletter
for helpful tips and advice as well as a schedule of upcoming
events.

is tolerant to drought and a wide variety of soils.
Sierra Oak: A small,
evergreen oak tree that is Oak Wilt resistant and which
grows to about 35 ft. tall.
It is the best oak available and they are difficult
to come by. We only have a few. The have limited acorn
production and are in great demand -so buy them now because
we might not
have them again for a while!

popular fast growing oak from Northern Mexico. The new
foliage is red then turns
dark green. Evergreen in mild winters. Will reach heights
of 40 to 50 ft.

real novelty. Tolerates drought and poor soils. Grows over
50 ft. tall.

and can reach 25 to 30 feet in height in the shade but
can reach 15 feet tall with
