I don't bother with plants that I know for sure were planted. Those could come from most any part of the world and some are not native but can push out the native plants.Dizzy-Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14150939928800538404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297986341537650775.post-57326167966317992022014-04-23T11:08:07.353-05:002014-04-23T11:08:07.353-05:00I wish I did know Texas trees.... those "cat...I wish I did know Texas trees.... those "catkins" hanging down are probably loaded with pollen... I usually start with checking out whether the leaves are opposite or alternate and go from there. We must be of like minds... just this morning I took a small branch... leaves, and some type of small, purple fruit at the end... to the county extension agent to identify. Bill brought it home from Ft Worth yesterday... it was planted as a shrub/tall hedge beside a doctor office. The ex. agt. told me it's a Chinese Phoeenia... an ornamental (non-native) planted as a barrier. So many of the trees I'm trying to ID are not native... planted as an ornamental... and are way beyond my knowledge. I'd be taking a sample to your ex agt to see if it's an invasive species that will take over (like that honeysuckle tree we found on our Ohio property last fall... yikes!).
