Staff Favorite Trees




AUTUMN SPLENDOR MAPLE

“The Autumn Splendor is a fantastic tree because of its ruggedness, it’s great fall color and because it’s a cultivar of a native Oklahoma tree.”

Monty C. Marcum

CAROLINA SAPPHIRE CYPRESS

“I have a Carolina Sapphire and they’re great because they grow fast. I like their beautiful blue green color, that they’re drought tolerant to high heaven, and can be an awesome natural screen from your neighbors.”

CHINESE PISTACHE

“I like the Chinese Pistache for its vibrant fall color. It’s also very hardy and you can’t hardly kill it. Overall it’s just a very, very good tree!”

CHINQUAPIN OAK

“I love the look of the leaves on the Chinquapin Oak.  There is a row of these trees in Norman that I enjoy to drive by and admire.”

DESERT WILLOW

“Desert Willows are amazing trees with their airy foilage and beautiful blooms. You can plant these show stoppers near your house and not everyone has one.”

LACEBARK ELM

“I love the overall shape of the Lacebark Elm. Its beautiful bark and leaf pattern make it a stand out!”

SHUMARD OAK

“I love the strength of the Shumard Oak. They grow well in Oklahoma and have great fall color.”

RISING SUN EASTERN REDBUD

“Rising Sun Eastern Redbud is hands down the most brilliant and colorful of all the Eastern Redbuds.  In spring, lavender flowers emerge before leafing out heart shaped foliage which turns from apricot to a vibrant chartreuse color.  It is the perfect specimen for a smaller landscape project. I happen to have this beauty in my own backyard.”
