[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1542399, member: 27848"] Hackberry, Cedar of several varieties, and White Ash are natives here. If you don't keep your land mowed or plowed you are going to get it covered in one or the other; Cedar predominantly. Ash like to get their feet wet. Hackberries don't care. Hackberries want to be a bush rather than a tree but if you spend a little time when young, they make really nice shade and fire wood.....but both Ash and Hackberry burn faster than Oak which comes from up on the Red River where the soil is acid, not alkaline like here. I had one Cottonwood on the place and as soon as I found out what it was the axe it got; a transplant thanks to the wind and a 50' a neighbor had right next to his trailer house, many years old.......... Bought 5 ea. healthy, balled in burlap, 2" Live Oak saplings 30ish years ago. 3 died off within the first couple of years. One of the two is doing ok, the other anemic. Waiting for it to turn into fire wood any day. [/QUOTE]
