RAMSEY’S AUSTIN NURSERY 
AUSTIN, TEXAS 
Beautify Tour Grounds with Shade Trees 
Shade Trees 
Shade Trees should be planted wherever needed 
for shade. In the Southwest there is need for more 
shade than has been provided in recent years. If a 
tree serves a good purpose, shade, screen, or other, 
it is appropriate. 
Nursery-grown trees have the best root systems, 
smooth, straight bodies, and live easily. Tops should 
be cut back considerably when trees are planted.
