Need to replace a tree that has succumbed to the drought and watering restrictions? Looking for a tree native to Texas that meets your water and sunlight conditions and thrives in the type of soil in which you will plant it? Wondering what would be a good way to celebrate Texas Native Plant Week?
If your answer is yes, then you need to take a look at the Texas Tree Planting Guide website provided by Texas A&M Forest Service, specifically the interactive Custom Tree Selector application. The application allows you to select the Texas county in which you will plant your tree. You will find several options from which to specify desired attributes, including one to choose a tree that is native to Texas.

The Custom Tree Selector is a quick and easy way to get a listing of native Texas trees that will thrive in your location. It is well worth the time it takes to fill in the form and get the results.
Now is the time to be thinking about planting trees. Cooler temperatures will allow the root systems of most freshly planted trees to get established before the hot weather returns. Tree planting is good exercise and the right tree in the right place can help reduce energy costs by providing shade for your home. Once established, native trees require no additional water beyond normal rainfall. Native Texas trees provide additional benefits, including providing healthy habitats for native wildlife.
