The vibrant Red Maple tree is a versatile tree that can grow in various types of soil. We have seen this tree successfully growing in swamp conditions (ultra-saturated soil) to ultra-dry soil. For the extreme weather here in Houston, this is a great option to add color and shade to your landscaping design.
The Redbud Tree is a smaller tree growing 20-30 feet in height and producing red buds that later turn into beautiful pink flowers. These flowers are elevated on a thin and often twister trunk to create a remarkable tree with incredible color and beauty.
The Crepe Myrtle is known for its beautiful colors in the shades of purple, red, and white. These flowers bloom on a backdrop of crinkled flowers that look like crepes-hence its name in the summer months. Preferring warmer climates and lots of direct sun, these are an excellent option for Houston gardens.
The Chinese Fringe Tree is a beautiful flowering tree that produces a doom-like shape of flowering fragrant white blooms. Not a large tree, this is an excellent addition to smaller gardens looking to accent the space.
The Chaste Tree is native to the Mediterranean region, is the sacred tree of the Ancient Greek God Hestia, goddess of home and domesticity. This tree produces beautiful purple castus-flowers (similar to that of lavender) and is a favorite among butterflies.
