La Tejana Tree Sales cropped up in the late summer of 2016 purely by chance. The proprietor of the brokerage was out driving around in far southern Bexar County searching for a lost dog with her 2-dogs in tow, one of which was Ruben a retired German Shepherd war dog that had served in Afghanistan. After realizing she was quite lost she pulled over to the side of the road to give the dogs a break and walked into a field full of trees. Fascinated by the perfect rows of trees she continued walking and became even more intrigued.

About 20-minutes into the walk a very tall man approached and asked her what she was doing standing in the middle of his field with her 2-mutts. She explained she had gotten lost searching for a dog and found all the trees very fascinating. He introduced himself and invited her across the street to meet his German Shepherds. She of course went to see the dogs and that man turned out to be the owner of one of the largest tree and plant growing operations in South Texas. 

After spending most of the day touring the farm learning about the plants and trees she picked up one of the catalogues on her way out and took it home and studied it. Feeling inspired, she used her background in marketing, art direction and new media communication and was quickly able to create a business package and build an extensive website including a library of trees and plants that is dedicated to the children of Texas. Once she was done she began visiting growing operations all over South Texas learning from the best growers in the industry.
