I can’t imagine that 9/10ths of the world breathes bad air - but I know trees clean our air like nothing else in this world! #treesdothat #plantsdothat

When we’ve got triple digit temps, I avoid tree-less parking lots! Now we know it’s not just the shade - trees actually lower temps! #treesdothat

#Trees can hint at the history of a #landscape. This fallen #oak tells that a #tornado likely touched down here circa 1960. When the tree was felled, some of its deep roots stayed intact, allowing it to successfully pivot from vertical to horizontal life. 📸: Brianna Casselman

What a pretty alternative to lawn - unfortunately this years nasturtiums have already melted in our south Texas heat. If you want this look, plant your seeds in October. So you’ve got lots of time to prep that ground!

If you choose a tree from a pretty picture or something you saw on a trip, this could help you see if it will actually work where you live. Remember: Plant trees where they will thrive.

“In the US alone, forests currently capture 15% of the nation’s carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels” - and there’s room for more!

Compelling article re Suzanne Simard’s work on the connection between trees and mycorrhiza. It’s got me wondering about the lessons we can learn that will help us to improve our growing process nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Heading to El Cielo Lindo Court this morning to help them make their street more “lindo” (that’s “pretty” to any non Spanish-speakers). They are the Shade Our Street winners and we’ll teach them to properly plant a tree - & drop trees for them to plant. #wholesaletrees

Lots of south Texas homeowners have never experienced a freeze like last week's winter storm Uri. They're calling our farm looking for help. It's not what we do, but we do work with great companies who can help.

Here is a list of some Valley landscapers who we work with and recommend. If you're in another part of the state, look for companies with Texas Certified Landscape Professionals. They make the effort to keep learning. simmonsoakfarms.com/2021/02/winter…

A tree's light-colored rings represent wood that grew in the spring and early summer, while the dark rings represent wood that grew in the late summer and fall. 👇 1 light ring + 1 dark ring = 1️⃣ year of a tree’s life.
