It is a time to share your har- vest and to be thankful for the sea- son's rewards. It is also time to appreciate all that is around us. What better gift to share with neighbors, friends and family than a colorful fall display in your own yard. You don't have to spend a lot of money to travel to the East Coast. You can plant trees to enjoy in your own garden for you and others to savor. Although you may not have the magnificent display of fall col- ors seen in New England, you can indeed have an awe-inspiring autumn palette in your very own setting. Because colors can vary from plant to plant, buy trees in the fall while the leaves are changing. Group your selections together to see that the combinations of colors are pleasing. You want to create multiple colors of yellows, oranges, golds, maroons and reds—all the colors you imagine when you think of fall scenery. Now is one of the best times for planting trees. If you are lucky, you might even find a sale at your favorite nursery. The number one choice for the most striking fall foliage is the Chi- Perhaps this tree is one of the most perfect, all around selection for any garden. nese Pistache. It has slow to moder- ate growth reaching 30 to sixty feet. It boasts leaves of luminous orange to red, some with shades of yellow. Its scarlet tones are absolutely breath-taking. Another "must have" for the fall garden is a Raywood Ash. It is a compact, fast growing tree with small dark leaves in summer turn- ing reddish purple in Autumn. Plant muhlenbergia (Pink Muhly grass) in the foreground and you will love the airy plumes of featherly pinkish flowers complementing the dark maroon coloring of the ash tree. It is definitely a knock-out combination. Most people don't think of Crape Myrtle trees as a selection for fall but rather as an outstanding tree especially for hot-summer regions such as ours and for their showy summer flowers and beautiful bark. But think again. Another feature is their excellent blends of orange, red and yellow colored leaves turning slowly as the temperatures cool. Of course the maples, even the Japanese Maples, are worthy to mention as they also provide all year interest with their delicate leaves changing colors from spring into summer and finishing up in fall with scarlet, orange or yellow foliage. They can be grown happily in large containers which can be moved to protect them from winds and the scorching sun. Dogwoods are another tree often chosen because of their amazing spring-time flowers. However, they too, are also known for their brilliant colors in the fall with emphasis to deep reds and maroons. Their bright red berries last into the Christmas season.They come in many vari- eties and sizes. Again, buy them now when they are dressed in their autumn finery so you can best select the colors you want for your yard.
