You ever been to the west side of Houston, south of I-10 between Highway 6 and Downtown? Full of trees. North side from Downtown on up, full of trees. North of 290 all the way around to Lake Houston is full of trees. I don't know what your talking about.

Yeah, I must agree. Houston has a lot of pine trees. Especially on the north side. Houston has a lot of trees, period.

Dallas has trees by the lakes (duh!) and on its southside by Cedar Hill and Duncanville. But this place is dominated by prairie. There are a few pockets (of course), but they aren't in abundance like in Houston. The only other place where you will see trees in Dallas are in established neighborhoods (where they were planted).
