1: Need Infomation Texas Trees and problems
I am having losing 5 large Post Oaks Trees.I have had local Horticultist come by and look at my trees at our residence lot. I was told that construction around my 3 yr old house and fungus and may some hot dry summers may contribute.I know that I do not apply posion,lack of water or to much.I wish science to really what killed my large tall 60-75 ft.trees.

2: An excellent survey of trees and their natural ranges
Simpson's field guide is a comprehensive encyclopedic guide to trees "naturally" occuring in Texas. For each species, it provides a shaded map of its counties of occurrence, as well as one page summary of the tree's characteristics and habitats. The color plates (one for each species)are helpful but small. My only complaint is that the omitted general illustrations of the leaf, silhouette, flowers, and fruits of the various trees would have been of great usefullness to the amateur naturalist. Thus, this book must be paired with another to be of maximum utility in the field.
