5 Trees for Fall Color (Zones 8 and up!)

5 Trees for Fall Color (Zones 8 and up!)
In warmer zones many trees don’t start to color up and then lose their leaves until November or even December. Keeping the garden interesting in these months can be a challenge. Why not plant a tree that’s a late season showstopper? Here are just a few.

In this wonderful garden in Shreveport, LA, landscape architect Jeff Carbo built a garden perfect for outdoor living. (Especially in the cooler days of fall and early winter.) This allée of maples is the perfect foil for the white building and black gate.

I am interested in sasanqua camellia, as shown. Will it grow here in Prescott, AZ, in the national forest up high? PS: I had a Chinese Pistache planted about 1-1/2 years ago. So young and so beautiful, with coloring ending in bright red color!
