|
|
We are moving to east Texas and need some fast growing trees and/or shrubs to block some views from our property. A friend of a friend suggested either cherry laurel or cedar. Neither of us is familiar with cherry laurel, and don't know the advantages/disadvantages of one over the other.
We would appreciate your input and any other suggestions you might have.
:D |

The Shantung Maple grows even better in east Texas than it does here, and that says a lot!
Have you bought a copy of "Texas Trees" by Howard Garrett? It would be well worth your investment! :) |

| Look into wax myrtle--evergreen, quick growing, has berries for the birds. |
