Looking to add a splash of color to your yard this fall? Look no further than Watters Garden Center! Here's Ken Lain, the Mountain Gardener, with his top picks for trees that'll explode in vibrant hues come autumn.

Ready to Plant, Ready to Dazzle:

  • Maples: The classic choice, maples offer stunning reds and oranges. Ken recommends the Prescott Blaze Maple, which is fast-growing and perfect for patios or shade.
  • Ash Trees: Don't miss the Raywood Ash. This beauty boasts rich purple foliage and a handsome, rounded shape. Bonus: it's drought-resistant!
  • Golden Locust: This low-maintenance option features delicate leaves that turn a bright gold in fall. Plus, it cleans up after itself, naturally dropping its leaves.
  • Oaks: A symbol of strength and longevity, oaks are perfect for memorial trees. They offer deep red fall color and can withstand the mountain winds.

    • Ken's Insider Tips:

    • Fall is Prime Planting Time: Cooler temperatures and shorter days help newly planted trees establish themselves before winter.
  • Skip the Seedlings: Opt for grafted trees. They'll grow faster and be more consistent in appearance and color.
  • Right Plant, Right Place: Consider the mature size of a tree before planting. Oaks are great, but they might overwhelm a smaller lot.
