​​1.Bigtooth Maple

A Texas native as seen in the beautiful Los Maples State Park, the Bigtooth Maple is the gold standard for South Central Texas Maple Trees. Because its a native it can take our heat and drought when established. Bigtooths have been known to survive with little to no addition water beyond rainfall after several years of establishment. As for fall foliage, Bigtooth Maples do not disappoint. A deep orangish-red color of a classic Maple tree. Its for this reason Bigtooth Maple trees are so sought after! Couple the fact that Bigtooth Maples are difficult to propagate and you have a recipe for rarity! Luckily we absolutely love the Bigtooth Maple and have spend almost two decades learning the secrets to growing these majestic trees. You can buy Bigtooth Maple trees at Wilson Tree Nursery in Helotes, TX NOW and year round!

2.Shantung Maple

3.Caddo Maple

4.Mexican Sugar Maple

Perhaps no tree inspires as much love and interest as Maple trees. The vibrant colors Maples can display make them memorable and envied. Unfortunately, South Central Texas' extreme heat and drought do not mix well with Maple trees. Maples trees tend to prefer the cooler temperatures of the north. Most Maples look fine, even excellent in our springs, but once summer rolls around the majority of Maples look beaten and weathered. Some even die! There are a handful of Maple trees that can take the brutal heat, and of those handful we have chosen our top 4. These Maples can survive and thrive in South Central Texas. Infact, #1 on our list in a Texas Native! You can't get much better than that! In addition to hardiness, we chose the Maples that have the showiest, prettiest fall foliage.
