There's a spot with a lot of these trees on our property but I can't find what it is. Since it grows so well here I was thinking about using it on a sometimes droughty-sometimes wet swale.
They do look an awful lot like ganja, but it's not
I'm in central Texas. These apparently grow by root, but I could be wrong. The tallest I saw was about 20-25 feet, with lots from 3-10 feet. Some of them looked bushy, others more like a tree.

Would definitely need a picture to try to figure it out!

Those look like Acer palmatum, Japanese Maple. Take a look. It's the one in the top middle:

Didn't think it was the chaste, and while I thought it was unlikely to be Japanese maple (not native, and I'm pretty sure nobody planted these) I was leaning towards it, until panhandler! The Texas buckeye! Awesome, much thanks.
