It is a relatively fast growing oak, and practically evergreen in Austin. It is more resistant to oak wilt and other diseases and pests than other oaks. It is also tolerant of drought and alkaline soils. Mexican White Oak does not have any significant insect or disease problems. A member of the white oak group, it is resistant to oak wilt. As with many trees deer may browse the foliage of Mexican white oak when the tree is small but don't bother larger trees. This oak starts off growing very upright and rather pyramidal in form but finishes out into a more rounded form, making it an excellent shade tree. Foliage remains on the tree late in the season dropping before the emergence of new leaves. Mexican white oak does well in a variety of soils including our high pH central Texas soils. Semi-evergreen foliage that emerges in shades of light pink to rose red in the spring after the previous season’s leaves fall. It was first found near Monterrey, Mexico -- hence it’s other common name of Monterrey oak. Popular for shade and bird habitat, it also offers fall color, responding to a cold snap with a show of brilliant red, orange and yellow.

Common Name: Pomegranate Botanical name: Punica granatum L. Type: Tree Light Requirement: Sun Water Requirement: low Height: 20 or 30 ft Width/Spacing: 6 to 10 ft Flower Color: Scarlet red Blooming Period: Spring Plant Form or Habit: Large shrub or small tree Foliage Color and Texture: Deciduous Butterfly or bird attracter: Hummingbirds Deer Resistant: Moderate Plant Use: An attractive shrub or small tree, to 20 or 30 ft (6 or 10 m) high, the pomegranate is much-branched, more or less spiny, and extremely long-lived, some specimens at Versailles known to have survived two centuries. The leaves are evergreen or deciduous, opposite or in whorls of 5 or 6, short-stemmed, oblonglanceolate, 3/8 to 4 in (1-10 cm) long, leathery. The seeds represent about 52% of the weight of the whole fruit. The leaves are glossy and have a narrow, lance shape. In most places they are deciduous, but in the warmer climates may be evergreen. The flowers are tube shaped and over 1" long. They are a brilliant scarlet red, and are very attractive to hummingbirds. The flowers are self-pollinating, though fertility is improved through cross pollination. The pomegranate fruit is approximately 2.5-5" wide. It has a red, leathery rind. Each seed is encased in pulp and sectioned off by walls. Harvest when the color has developed and makes a metallic sound when tapped. They can be stored for a long time if kept around 32-40F. The pomegranate does best in well-drained soil, though it is able to thrive in a wide variety of soils from acid loam to alkaline soil. The pomegranate shrub is drought tolerant, though irrigation is needed for proper fruit production, per the California Rare Fruit Growers. Water every 2-4 weeks during the dry season when you are establishing new shrubs. Pomegranates are prone to producing suckers, so remove them as they appear. Fertilize in November and March for the first two years. Otherwise, not much fertilizer is usually needed in subsequent years.
