The group says it’s impossible to know exactly how many trees were lost, but the restoration program that will be executed in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, with assistance from state and local governments, corporate sponsors, community groups and individual volunteers, will be the most ambitious undertaking of its more than 50-year existence.

Those 3 are great choices.

Crepe myrtle grows fast and provides loads of flowers. The bumblebee noise in my front yard was something to hear. First time I noticed, I freaked out thinking something high voltage was shorting. Gathered a 5g bucket of seeds and spread them at our camp.

Live oaks are a trip. The density vs. other oaks is something you have to experience to get it. There's a reason Old Ironsides got the nickname. Cannonballs would bounce off.

Magnolia grows fast, but it's super soft. Not sure how they contribute to the environment, but they're quite common in the South. They certainly drop a ton of leaf litter.
