Highly recommended.
Mike Fannin is very careful and will tell you if you are wanting a tree that is wrong for your situation.

BTW, of course he and his brother are Wildcats! Mike was on the '69-'70 state semi-finalist football team if you want to make some conversation with him.

Fannin Tree Farm sounds like a good place to shop for trees.
Momof2, you have 24 trees on your property! Wow, that's great!

Default Check Treeland Nursery

Tree land Nursery - Dallas, Texas - Guaranteed Lowest Prices has their prices posted on their website.
They have most of the trees you are considering.

I haven't personally used them but my HOA and my Brother has and were very satisfied.
