Trees of the Frel

Black Walnut - down by the creek

The nut is inside this green hull

Bodark - the wood is extremely hard, and is desirable for making archery bows.


Cedar Elm - there are lots of these on the rocky hill, including one next to the new patio


Huisache - our most hated tree! :-)




Live Oak - huge shade trees found all over the property

Pecan - found in the sandy pasture; ours are native varieties with tiny fruit



Post Oak - several large ones on the rocky hill (they are very sensitive trees, and two in the yard have recently died)


Rain Tree


Red Cedar - the berries can be used to make a fermented beverage


Redbud - not sure which variety.


Trifoliate Orange - in the pasture, where the trail splits right/left, on the fork to the right


Yaupon Holly - found everywhere!
