Loblolly Pine and and also, several hardwoods such as Hickory and Oak.

From the - Handbook
of Texas Online - Fairmount or what exists of the community
today
"...
received a post office in 1854 and by 1884 had a population estimated
at seventy and a gristmill, cotton gin, district school, blacksmith
shop, and general store. In 1896 its one-teacher, one-room school had
thirty-one pupils. By the 1920s Fairmount had ten residents and one
rated business. Its post office closed in the late 1940s, when the
county highway map showed a school and eleven dwellings at the site.
The community was listed in 1990, but without population statistics. In
2000 the population was forty-five."
