All of the trees listed grow well in Central Texas and once established, will require little water from you. However, freshly planted trees will require a lot of water. A sprinkler system is not an adequate means to watering a large, freshly planted tree when it’s hot outside. The best way to water your tree when the weather gets hot is to turn your hose on a slow drip and place it near the base of the tree. During warm and hot months, water is very important if you want your tree to survive!

PLEASE check with your HOA first before purchasing trees and shrubs. All sales are final, so we don’t want you to be stuck with something that you can’t plant around your home!
Return Policy: All sales are final. When you purchase a plant, it becomes your risk and responsibility to water and care for. Once a plant is purchased from our store, it becomes the responsibility of its new owner. We cannot accept returns on plants when they have been improperly cared for once they leave our hands.
