In North Texas there are two trees that come to mind with white blooms. It is either the North Texas Native, Mexican Plum, or Bradford Pear tree. Although beautiful in the spring we do not recommend planting Bradford pear trees due to them being prone to breakage and highly susceptible to fireblight.
Oak wilt is an infectious disease caused by a fungus (Bretziella fagacearum*). All oaks (genus Quercus) are susceptible to oak wilt, but different species may react differently to the fungus. Oak wilt is a vascular disease, and infects the whole tree, even if only one part is symptomatic. As the fungus spread through the tree, it blocks the transmission of nutrients to the canopy, causing the characteristic “wilt,” or dieback. Learn more about oak wilt prevention here.
Short answer: “yes.” Synthetic grass will eventually kill your tree. To understand why read our blog here.
Unfortunately, most turf grass is not bred to live in harmony with large trees, and trees often find themselves in competition for resources with surrounding grass. In many cases, homeowners have to choose between uniform turf coverage and tree health. To understand why read our blog here.
While it is possible to trim a tree’s canopy to increase the amount of light that reaches the ground below we do not recommend trimming away a large section of the trees canopy because this will eventually lead to tree decline and death. To understand why trees need leaves and how reducing a trees canopy is harmful to their health please read our blog here.
Once a tree has been removed you won’t be able to plant another tree in that same spot immediately, and should wait for a few years. Issues can arise in the new tree for multiple reasons; roots from previous tree impeding growth of new tree, soil stripped of nutrients from former tree, disease or insect that killed the former tree could still be present in the soil and infect the new tree.
Palm “trees” (are actually more closely-related to grass than trees) are not adapted to cold weather and will die if freezing occurs. To learn more read our blog here.
