Living in a small rural town surrounded by big cities, I have become very aware of the dwindling population of native trees in residential and commercial landscaping. The goal of the Texas Native Fairy Tree Project was to introduce native trees to children and parents in our Town of Sunnyvale, Texas. The tree base is an eight foot cedar tree stump estimated to have been 100 years old. Six native trees took on fairy qualities via mosaics to live in the old cedar: Bois d’ Arc, Texas Flowering Willow, Sweet Gum, Big Tooth Maple, Texas Willow and Lacy Oak. Funded by the Sunnyvale Garden Club and gifted to the Town of Sunnyvale.
