Heat-Tolerant Japanese Maples and Oleander Survival in North Texas

For Arlington, TX (Zone 8), seek Acer palmatum 'Yatsubusa' or similar heat-tolerant cultivars at local nurseries. Dwarf oleanders are cold-tender when young; buy larger, established plants and plant in spring. South-facing sun is ideal for oleanders once established. Always verify availability and performance with nearby growers.
