Our Work

Welcome to our Plant Library! Dave and his staff share their years of experience trying out different plants, along with the maintenance know-how that comes from doing it all yourself. The photos and descriptions here will introduce you to some of the wonderful plant material we can enjoy here in North Texas. We hope you enjoy this handy resource.

Loquat

Loquat

(Eriobotrya japonica)
The perfect plant for you if you’re looking for a lush, tropical-looking evergreen.
Large, crinkly leaves reflect light and densely cover this medium-sized ornamental tree.
Fragrant white flowers bloom in late fall, developing into edible soft yellow fruits in mid-spring.
Can be espaliered along a wall, grown as a specimen or massed for a wonderful dense screen.

Japanese Maple “Oshio Beni”

Japanese Maple “Oshio Beni”

(Acer palmatum ssp. ameoemum ‘Oshio beni’)
Orange-red new growth in spring, followed by bronzy reddish-green in summer and scarlet fall color.

This maple has a larger leaves and samaras than other Acer palmatum varieties, and the leaves are not as deeply divided.

Coralbark Japanese Maple

Coralbark Japanese Maple

(Acer palmatum ‘Sangokaku’)
Brilliant red stems of younger branches brighten the winter landscape, even after the leaves fall.

This Japanese maple will tolerate more sun than most in Dallas, and grows about 15’ tall and wide.

Light green leaves with a red margin give way to golden fall color.

Savannah Holly

Savannah Holly

(Ilex x attenuata ‘Savannah’)
A large shrub or small tree, this beautiful dark green holly is a staple of the landscape here. Can be grown full to the ground for a dense screen, or limbed up five or six feet with a single trunk to allow plantings underneath. Makes a great privacy screen around pools since it does not drop a lot of debris. The most reliable holly we’ve grown here if the soil is not too alkaline. If the leaves yellow, it may need an iron supplement and soil acidifier.

Possumhaw Holly

Possumhaw Holly

(Ilex decidua)
Similar in size and form to its evergreen cousin, the yaupon, possumhaw hollies are grown primarily for their winter show of bright orange-red berries which persist until early spring.

Will grow in sun or light shade, although berries are most plentiful in full sun.

Be sure you’re getting mostly female plants; a male is needed for pollination but will not set fruit.
