- Today I'm sharing the toughest evergreens for Central Texas. They have made it through our coldest winters and hottest summers. Superstar evergreens for our area. These will give you an interesting winter garden and all the other seasons too.

I am so glad you made this video. I have been looking for this kind of information for years. Thank you
Glad to help!
All these plants are deer resistant too. Great choices for Texas homeowners
Yes they are!
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to educate us on plants for Central Texas. I live in RR and it can be tough to find good plants for our extreme weather.
I'm happy to do it! I've been gardening a long time, but have recently retired and finally have the time to start my gardening channel. Keep watching
Thank You For Posting This !!!! You helped us so much :)) AND FINALLY someone who gives us details ❤❤❤❤❤ Thank You !!!!! From All over my heart :))
Glad to help!
Great info, thanks
Hope it helps! Do you live in Zone 8b?
Great selection of evergreens.
Thank you. Have you tried any?
Very nice presentation. I’m from Austin,too. The red tip photonics will eventually get the disease and die. Keep the videos coming..
Entomosporium leafspot a fungal disease. I'm hoping I can treat it for as long as possible. I didn't know about this terrible disease until after we planted. So sad.
I'm going to stop recommending it on my channel.
I saw your previous tour of the doctors garden and you mentioned them there too. I looked them up and saw that they are susceptible to fungus, so I eliminated them off my list of what to buy. As I am having a TERRIBLE time with fungus on my Dwarf Burford Holly, and don’t want to fight it any more. So frustrating. Hoping you can keep all of yours healthy and happy. Thank you very much for sharing what is working for you!! ❤.
I recently purchased some Greggii Salvia and Texas Sage and hoping to have success with them.
I agree! No more Red Tipped Photonia.@@carlaephotography7096
Have you looked into Rhus virens, Garrya lindheimeri, or Berberis trifoliolata? All three are quite common in the TX hill country. A few other considerations might be Arbutus xalapensis, Fraxinus greggii, or Guaiacum angustifolium. The first is a bit more rare, the second occurs more southwest, and the third occurs more south, but all are evergreen.
No. I'll look into them.
Great selection! In which community do you live in Leander?

This is so very helpful. What is your opinion of Azaleas for Texas? I'm an HOA president trying to narrow down some options for our community.
It depends on what part of Texas you live in. Central Texas is not suitable for Azaleas. Our soil is too Alkaline/(limestone). Azaleas want acidic soil (Dallas, Tyler, East Texas areas).
Don’t be too controlling. As long as homeowners maintain their lawn, they should choose their plants.
the cherry laurel in my back yard is 25ft tall and 15 feet wide.
25 ft tall!!! I had no idea they could get that tall! How old is it?
There was a cherry laurel that grew to that size in our front yard where I grew up in zone 7b West Tennessee.
Well, we'll wait and see and I'll let you know. I love that they're going to screen my fences, but I'm not sure if I'm going to like them that tall.
What about trees? Juniper, spruce, arborvitae?
Have you had good look with these? I don't currently see any in my neighbourhood, but that doesn't mean they're not out there somewhere. Let us know.
There's a juniper to the left of her back @0:40. Juniperus ashei is native to the area and quite common; however, I don't think I've ever seen it sold in a nursery because it gets a bad rap for its pollen and its tendency to grow as a multi-branched bush when young. Elizabeth McGreevy has a book that covers the history of the tree's controversy. I can't say how well spruce or arborvitae will do, but I can say that neither of the two are native to the area.
@@rdotjdot12.3. Thank you so much! I am in zone 8b, Waco area, and I really want some evergreen trees that can withstand the heat and cold here. I am looking at Arizona Cypress, but I need some "skinnier" trees as well.
