If you have more room to work with, these are some of our most popular picks: Live Oak (the classic Texas shade tree — long-lived and iconic, but needs room to spread), Cedar Elm (tough, adaptable, provides great shade and handles South Texas conditions well), Mexican Sycamore (fast-growing shade tree; likes consistent watering during its first few years), and Chinquapin Oak (sturdy structure and excellent shade canopy). We can help you choose based on your yard’s size, soil, and how fast you want shade. Visit our nursery or call (210) 202-4284.
