In this San Antonio Express article, Tim Jackson from Davey's West San Antonio office recommends trees that will help support pollinators and all the wonderful things they do.

"Eighty-five percent of trees count on pollinators to survive, and probably to a greater extent, pollinators depend on trees and other flowering plants in the landscape," explained Tim Jackson, district manager of the local branch of the Davey Tree Expert Co.
