Tip of the Month

There's no better way to show your Texas pride during the holidays than to select and harvest a Texas-grown tree for your holiday celebrations. Fresh, fragrant and more likely to hold their needles than non-native trees, Texas trees can last as long as six weeks when properly watered and maintained. Whether opting for a fresh choose-and-cut or pre-cut tree, thousands of Texas-grown evergreens will go home for the holidays. Go here for a list of Texas tree farms in your area and create a new family tradition.
