Look to be roughly the same size as the Shumard?

So main benefit would be leaf clean up in the winter?


And if I decided to go a bit smaller than a Shumard/Willow Oak, anyone have any other recommendations?

Thoughts on the Autumn Blaze Red maple or even a Bald Cypress for a Texas backyard?

Bald cypress leaves are a bitch when they drop they are hard to sweep/clean up and you also have the knees.

You’re on the right track with the oaks honestly if you want a big tree (eventually). If you want a smaller tree a drake elm or a birch is a good option or a slower growing tree like a sycamore. Depends on how long you’ll be there I guess
