Get Classic Fall Color With Maples
What better way to bring Fall color to your home than with a Maple tree. These fast-growing shade trees are known for their brilliant red/orange or yellow leaf color in the fall.
Two of my favorite varieties of Maples are the Autumn Blaze and October Glory. They have similar growth habits but have different leaf structure and color. The Autumn Blaze is redder in color while the October Glory is a bit more orange. Both are stunning on a sunny day!

Fall is the best time to plant trees and shrubs. As the saying goes “the best time to plant a tree was thirty years ago, the second-best time is today.”
