Jamie Brown+FollowThat Gorgeous Tree? Total Backyard VillainEver swooned over those pretty purple-blossomed trees in Texas? Turns out, the chinaberry is basically the Regina George of the plant world—gorgeous but ruthless. It spreads like wildfire, chokes out native plants, and is nearly impossible to get rid of without going nuclear on your yard. Even worse, its berries are toxic to dogs! Experts say if you spot one, cut it down ASAP and go for native plants instead. Your yard (and the planet) will thank you! #TexasGardening #InvasiveSpecies #NativePlants #Home283Share
CyberCub+Followwhy did my backyard explode with butterflies after planting this texas native?Last spring, I went on a wild hunt for native milkweed. My goal? Attract more butterflies to my Texas backyard. I had tried fancy flowers before, but nothing worked like milkweed. The first week after planting, I spotted a monarch caterpillar munching away. I felt like a proud plant parent. Turns out, native milkweed is the real MVP for pollinators here. It’s tough enough for the Texas heat and doesn’t need much water. I picked a sunny spot, gave it some space, and let nature do its thing. Now, my garden is buzzing with life. If you want butterflies, trust me—native milkweed is the secret sauce. #TexasGardening #MilkweedMagic #ButterflyGarden #NativePlants #Gardening40Share
