I'm looking for a good tree that gives fall color. I'm trying to decide between a Texas red oak or a red push pistache. Is one a Better tree for our desert climate. Which one grows quicker and has better form. It would be planted about 20ft from The house . I live in marana,az. Could you give me info about each tree so I could make a good choice. Thank you

Hi,
The red push pistache is a better tree for this area and your space. It's growth is moderate and at maturity it reaches 40 feet tall by 35 feet wide. This should just fit your space if you plant it 20 feet away. The Texas red oak is a larger tree and would not fit your space.
