For a litt le fuller, less mowed look in semi-shade, Sheep’s Fescue (Festuca ovina) is available. In areas with full sun and dry soil, Buff alo Grass (Buchloe dactyloides) can be nursed into a fi ne full weft that requires no irrigation; it is native to Texas, and possibly grew in the San Jacinto area at one time. The southern tip of Texas, near the mouth of the Rio Grande could be construed as subtropical insofar as plant hardiness. San Jacinto is unambiguously situated in the northern districts of Zone 9, which can be characterized as humid-south temperate. If, however, there is an interest to create a tropical sett ing with trees, but litt le interest in winter greenhouse storage and heavy watering, there are a few trees that can give the impression of the topics, at least in the minds of those who have never been there. Perhaps the more evocative of such trees hardy in the San Jacinto province are characterized by the palms and fl owering trees with broad, evergreen leaves or fern-like leaves with showy fl owers. With lots of room for argument, a “top 10” list might include the following: Pindo Palm (Butia capitata), Mexican Olive (Cordia boissieri), Southern Magnolia (Magnolia grandifl ora), Avacado Tree (Persea americana), Mexican Palm (Sabal mexicana), Texas Palm (Sabal texana), African Tuliptree (Spathodia campanulata), Queen Palm (Syagrus romanzoffi ana), and Tamarind (Tamarindus indica).
