Texas Trees

Homeowners in the Lone Star State are often on the look out for fast growing trees to provide color and shade to their gardens. Shrubs, fruit trees and evergreens are also popular. Here at the Faster Growing Trees Nursery, we have a wide selection of trees that we can help you match them to your environment and hardiness zone.

Texas lies within the warm and cool areas of the Temperate Zone of the Northern Hemisphere. This gives the Lone Star State three major climatic types; Continental, Mountain, and Modified Marine. Though no distinct boundaries separate these climate types, as a guideline the Continental zone is predominant in the High Plains. The Mountain climate dominates the Guadalupe, Davis and Chisos Mountains, and the Modified Marine climate covers the rest of the state. Climate will be a major consideration when you are selecting fast growing trees for your Texas residential landscape. Whichever region of Texas you call home, we have the trees for you,

Perhaps you want to increase the privacy of your property, if so, consider planting a row of Thuja Emerald Green, Cryptomeria Radicans or Drought Free Evergreens. These fast growing, feathery evergreens will enhance the beauty of your property’s boundary with their year-round dark green color, while adding a sense of security.

A Large Variety of Trees for Texas

The Texas State tree is the Pecan. This tree can reach heights well over 100 feet and produces tasty thin shelled nuts. Here at the Fast Growing Tree Nursery you will find the Pawnee Pecan. This variety is very disease and insect resistant. The nuts are ready to harvest earlier than many other varieties and their thin shells make their nuts easy to crack.

Houston Black was designated as Texas’s state soil in 1902. This black clay is found on more than 1.5 million acres of Texas land from north of Dallas south to San Antonio. This soil is used extensively to cultivate sorghum. If your Texas soil is not ideal, you can easily amend it by adding organic matter such as compost and a good fertilizer.

Texas is home to some of the most stunning scenery and rugged landscapes in the United States. You can enhance your beautiful mountain or desert landscape with a mixture of resilient shade and flowering trees that grow well in your specific region. Whichever part of Texas you call home, from Amarillo to Brownsville or Beaumont to El Paso, our expert horticulturists at Fast Growing Trees Nursery can help you select trees that will suit your needs and are easy to maintain.
