Top 10 Fall Colored Trees for Autumn Planting

Autumn is a beautiful time of year, with the leaves of many trees changing color to brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow. If you're looking to add some fall color to your landscape, here are 10 of the best trees to plant in the fall:

1. Maple

Maples are one of the most popular trees for fall color, and for good reason. Their leaves turn a vibrant red, orange, or yellow in the fall, and they can grow up to 70 feet tall. Maples are relatively low-maintenance, but they do prefer moist, well-drained soil.

2. Aspen

Aspens are known for their beautiful fluttering leaves and their golden yellow fall color. Aspens can grow up to 50 feet tall, and they prefer full sun to partial shade. Aspens are best planted in groups, as they are very social trees.

3. Ash

Ash trees are known for their compound leaves and their fiery red fall color. Ash trees can grow up to 60 feet tall, and they prefer full sun to partial shade. Ash trees are relatively low-maintenance, but they are susceptible to some pests and diseases.

4. Locust

Locust trees are known for their fragrant flowers and their golden yellow fall color. Locust trees can grow up to 70 feet tall, and they prefer full sun to partial shade. Locust trees are relatively low-maintenance, but they can be invasive in some areas.

5. Bradford Pear

Bradford pear trees are known for their white spring flowers and their purple-red fall color. They can grow up to 50 feet tall, and they prefer full sun to partial shade. Bradford pear trees are relatively low-maintenance, but they are susceptible to some pests and diseases.

When choosing a tree for fall color, it is important to consider the climate you live in and the amount of space you have available. You should also choose a tree that is resistant to pests and diseases.
