Yesterday while trimming the pomegranate, apple, and pyracantha, I decided to take inventory of the trees on our property. I’ve never done this and really had no idea how many we had.
THROUGHOUT PROPERTY
Live Oaks – Can’t begin to count, 100+
Cedar – 30+
FRONT YARD
Cedar Elm – I lived in the house a year before I noticed that this tree was different from the live oaks. The canopy is so high, that it was smaller leaves in fall that gave it away.
Yaupon Holly Cluster
Evergreen Sumac Cluster
Additional Evergreen Sumac – I love the canopy on this tree
Pyracantha
*Desert Willow
*Acacia
*Corkscrew Mesquite
*Flowering Senna
*Aromatic Sumac
*Yellow Bird of Paradise
*Kidneywood
*Almond Verbena – hoping this one survives it’s lawn mower trim
Mountain Laurel – 1 cluster, *2 regular trees, *1 silver peso
Crepe Myrtle – 5 pink, 1 white (the white is in the back)
In the Orchard …
*3 Apple Trees – Anna, Mollie’s Delicious, Granny Smith
*3 Peach Trees – Tex Prince, June Gold, Texas Star
*3 Fig – Everbearing, Blue, Unknown/transplant (2 of these are in the back yard)
*1 Pecan – Desirable
BACK YARD
Texas Persimmon – 7
*Olive – 3 – Mission, Arbequina, Arbosana
*Kumquat
*Key Lime
*Meyer Lemon
*Satsuma
Pomegranate – 2
Have you ever tried trimming a tree with a cat in it? It makes branch selection a little more challenging
*Brazos Avocado
*Bay Laurel
*Anacacho Orchid
*Mexican Redbud
*Possumhaw Holly
*Eve’s Necklace
Sago Palm
Mulberry – bummed that this one is a male
Palo Verde / Retama – 2
Chinaberry – ~5
*And can’t forget the bottle trees – 2
* Trees I planted
— As of 2/16 I have also added an Anna apple tree, a bottlebrush and am including my Pineapple Guava and a frost lemon.
