We have white oaks and a few pecans. The oaks in Texas tend to grow in very thick clusters. So the trunks are small and the branches don’t spread out as they normally would. The branches tend to grow upward vying for sunlight. About 150 trees are 1.5 feet wide and 25 - 35 ft tall. The rest are just as tall but only 10 inches wide or so.

I’ll post a pic if you’d like to see them.

Are you kidding? I'd LOVE to see a picture or pictures (hint, hint). Do you have to irrigate the trees? Are you going to get some guinea hens to control the tick population? You can put all that poison stuff on your dog you want, but the ticks will still be out there, enjoying the shady coolness under your trees. Do the trees shade your house and keep it cool/cooler?
