Haha, agree.

I'll probably stop by Bruce Miller's in Richardson on the way home.

This would be good for zone 9a and warmer

I do have some Silverado Sage that is great. Mexican BoP will not thrive in Dallas.

Althea?

It'll be fine

On the short list

plant these and I will come by once a month and trim them for ya for free.

just a thought.

The weeping yaupons add a little interest to the landscaping

well darn!

Oh, what about vitex / chaste tree? You'd have all kinds of fun because of the shape of the leaves.

Ha, my favorite tree in the yard is my vitex (I know it's elcoyote's favorite also)
Those things thrive here and will get to 30ft tall in no time. Bloom from end of March to end of November if you keep trimming them (sorry Dfitz).

yep, attacks Bradford Pears too. It is not as much a problem if you do not plant too deep. Number one mistake people make is planting a tree too deep and piling mulch around the trunk. Neighbor mulched my pecan trees right after I planted them. She said look I had some extra mulch. I said thanks but no thanks. I would have said more but she was already kind of ticked at me for calling her orange shingles ugly as sin.

Crimson Queen Japanese Maple?



Orangeola Japanese Maple?

Japanese Maples are beautiful, but they will get scorched Dallas south facing full sun June to early October.

My mom has what I believe is a Red Prince Weigela. That I like a lot. But hers is 8-10' tall and 5' wide. The ones on google search mostly look smaller than that.
