Trees
A great addition to any yard. They can add a lot of character to your property, and they also present the opportunity to get some fresh air and enjoy a peaceful atmosphere in your yard during the day or night.
Many attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and birds. Making them an excellent way to support wildlife into your yard.
Redbuds
A Beautiful Ornamental Tree!
Redbuds are a great early source of nectar for pollinators while other plants are still dormant. In the winter months they provide seeds for various local birds like Northern Cardinals. The native varieties such as Texas and Eastern are the host plant for the Henry’s Elfin Butterfly, Io Moth, and the White-Marked Tussock Moth.
Redbuds are a must-have ornamental tree for southern gardeners who enjoy spring blooms, fall/winter interest and wildlife benefits!
