(Ginkgo biloba)
Ginkgo Trees are not native to the region and are typically planted as landscape trees. They perform well with full sun and well-drained soil, and once established, they are quite drought-tolerant.

The ginkgo’s fan-shaped, light green leaves are distinctive and turn a bright lemon-yellow in the fall, a hallmark of the tree.

The ginkgo is known as a “living fossil” because it is one of the oldest tree species on Earth, with some trees surviving for thousands of years.

(Ulmus parvifolia ‘Allee’)
Also known as the Lacebark Elm, this cultivar offers year-round appeal with delicate spring leaves, dappled summer shade, and vibrant yellow fall foliage, making it a resilient and beautiful shade tree option for the region.

Allee Elms are resistant to Dutch Elm Disease, and grow into a stately, vase-shaped tree with unique peeling bark.

(Quercus virginiana)
A staple of the Southern landscape, live oaks are one of the primary components of the city’s green canopy.

Not exactly evergreen (they shed their leaves in January as they are putting out new ones), but close enough, the live oak lends a timeless, stately quality to any setting.

Several cultivars (‘High Rise,’ ‘Cathedral’) have a narrower habit and fit better in our city lots.

(Quercus shumardii)
The best oak for scarlet fall color here in North Texas. This pyramidal-shaped tree grows relatively quickly when young, slowing with age and topping out at around 90 feet tall.

A good red oak can shade your whole house and reduce your electric bill substantially in the summer. If you have one, take good care of it; construction activity often kills them.

Be sure to get a red oak with ascending branches; a lot of pin oak genes are lurking out there which will produce a tree that dies in 5-10 years.

With oak wilt and the finickiness of red oaks, you might want to consider one of the many other oaks that do well here.

(Quercus laceyi)
A smaller oak, often multi-stemmed or even shrubby, this oak has smallish blue-green leaves and beautiful peachy new growth and fall color.

A good choice for a smaller space where a big oak would take over. This is a stunning tree.
