Yeah I have been debating on if I should cut it down or not, but I wanted to know what type of tree it was first. Since it's native I would rather just let it grow, although it is about to reach the power lines.

We will be going tomorrow as long as it does not rain, if it is raining it will be canceled and I'll see if we can do the tour on Saturday. We need to met at my house at 10:00 AM so we can head out. My address is 6 Roaring Creek Court, Trophy Club if you need more info please email me.

Okay, y'all are gonna love this. I drove out to that house again yesterday, talked to the owner and took some pictures. Unfortunately, the pictures will have to wait, as I'm on my way out of town for the day/night. BUT, they were HEALTHY and the elderly man said his wife moved them there from the next door neighbor's property years ago when the neighbor died, and he does absolutely NOTHING for them. They were on the east side of the house which blocks the afternoon sun, and I'm guessing they get a few hours of direct sun from maybe 10-2? They blooms were fading, but looked like they'd weathered all our recent storms well. I'll post the pictures as soon as I can, probably tomorrow afternoon. I haven't researched the climate here, and I've lived here less than a year, but it seems to be similar to DFW area, except a good bit more hot & dry.

We used to be 7B, that changed a few years ago. I don't see any of the wings on that elm so I am assuming cedar elm. I have both but the winged elms are smaller mostly saplings and we have cleared most of them. Welcome to Texas Marinaka! I myself am a native of California although I have been in Tx since the age of 14. I will always miss the weather and the mountains.
