My point is that they don't grow east of Dallas. I've never seen one in eTx. Dallas climate is the beginning of the western aridity although its not completely arid.

There can be different parts of the South, right?

Very true. Same can be said with Austin and SA with the dried up shrubery and brown grass in Central TX.
