Default Plan "B" Shade Tree

Cedar elm is native, but not the most exciting shade tree. I planted
a Chinese pistache 5 years ago as a sapling and it's 15 feet now.
Ginkgo biloba is a beautiful shade tree and is the only tree to
survive on the earth since the Jurasic period.

Well it looks like the weeping willow will not be a good choice for my
are.
Thanks for the input.

Since I'm in the hill country with little top soil & a limestone base.
What
will be a good tree(s) for shade?

Thanks!
