autumn displays of color in eastern Canada and the United States. The blazing reds, bright yellows
and burnt oranges of shade trees and deciduous shrubs are poster worthy. You can have this too in
your own gardens with a little strategic planting and planning. This is the best time of year to wander
throughout nurseries and take note of different shrubs and trees with fall leaf color that appeals to you. Every garden should have at least one shade tree and a few shrubs that provide autumn interest.
October is the best month for planting nursery stock so I recommend getting out to the garden centre
and choosing from among the following for some of the best fall performers:
Shrubs
Fothergilla, Smokebush, Blueberry, Oakleaf hydrangea, Burning bush, Viburnum varieties
Shade Trees
Oxydendrum (Sourwood), Maples (Large leaf and Japanese), Stewartia, Dogwoods, Redbud, Katsura
