Trees, shrubs and grasses in Freer are a lighter shade of green due to the PH level of the soil and mineral composition. The PH varies in different areas, even around Freer. Before you decide on a color for your hunting blind, you will probably need to take a soil sample, collect it in a zip lock bag, then put the zip lock in a vacuum sealer. Take the vacuum sealed bag to the post office and complete the Biological Matter form 2589-R and mail to Texas A&M Agrilife for soil testing. It should take about 2 weeks. After you receive the results, you should get with The County Ag Extension and contact their locally recommended Master Gardener. Give them your results from the Agrilife testing and have them grow a seedling Mesquite in one container filled matching your soil PH and then have them Transplant and/or Graft a Cactus into another soil container for continuity. This should give you a good starting point in deciding what color to paint your blind. Hope it helps.
