This photo is a close up of the fall color you find on the Texas Red Oak. Red Oaks are pretty common in the southern central areas and have a great adaptability to our rocky soils. The Shumard Red and the Texas Red both grow well here, although some folks say the Shumard takes a bit longer to establish, and as a result isn't as drought tolerant from the get go, but adapts quickly.
