Foliage for FALL COLORS in a Landscape

摘要

Fall is the most wonderful season of the year when the foliage of trees, shrubs and vines paints the landscape. Across many areas of the United States there is a spectacular display of autumn colors. However, in the Northeast corridor, Southeast alongthe Appalachian Mountain chain, and in much of the Midwest, nature puts forth the most striking display of vibrant colors. As arborists, you can enhance a landscape's beauty by keeping foliage coloring in mind when deciding on plantings. Deciduous broad-leaved trees (oaks, maples, beeches, sweetgums, yellow-poplars, dogwoods, hickories) and others that shed their leaves in the autumn display the most spectacular show in the autumn. From September to December, depending upon weather conditions, one can enjoy fall colors of foliage across the nation. Each plant species has its own unique foliage color that varies from year to year.
