Okay, I don’t have anything resembling a green thumbs. I can identify some trees etc. that seem to be indigenous to our area, - pines, oaks, weeping willow, etc. – but I have no idea what these things are that have cropped up in my yard. Can someone help?
We live in the Houston area, if that helps...
The first one here has grown from what looked like some kind of shrub to nearly 20 ft. high in a mere three years. It’s in a bad location so it needs to come down. But I do need another tree in the front yard, so something that grows this fast would be great – I just need to know what it is! Here’s a close up of a branch.
The second one looks a lot like a Ficus tree, but the color and leaf shape doesn’t seem quite right. The second shot is a closer look at the leaves, if that helps.
Regards,
