Opinions on what tree to plant

I have four Chinese Pistache trees on my place. Great shade trees and fall colors.

I have always been a fan of Maples.

Don’t plant a Chinese Tallow... I don’t think it’s even legal...

x5 on Monterrey oaks (a.k.a. Mexican white oak). almost evergreen, disease resistant, fast-growing. Little maintenance compared to live oaks and water oaks which don't self prune.

Fastest growing tree I have seen is the Chinese Parasol Tree. Has giant leaves and provides a lot of shade.

Chinese Tallow Trees they are a invasive tree kinda like HOGs

[TxAg]

Do these have the shallow roots that stay at/just below the surface and kill the grass?

No

Monterrey Oak! Planted two here in Blanco about a year and a half ago and they are doing great. Fast growing stay green most of the year...never completely lose all leaves. Did a lot of research and chose the Monterrey Oak. Look into them.

This! Monterrey Oaks are a morphing oak so get one that has been grown next to Live Oaks and it will cross pollenate with them and take on the evergreen and smaller leaf characteristics. If they are grown by a Burr oak they will have Large leafs and Large acorns. One of my favorite oaks for sure. They grow fast and are hardy trees.

One of my buddies also recommended the cedar elm

I planted 3 of these at my ranch for shade grew real nice, then some sort of beatle got them and killed them

You want to plant trees in the fall, so roots can establish before they have to bear the texas summers.
