We’ve been talking a lot about fall color around the nursery, on the radio and on this blog. Have you been getting out to see it and experience it… I hope you have been and are still doing just that! 😊 Here’s the color map –

I have had SO MANY questions the last couple of weeks about my favorite trees to plant for Fall color and what I would recommend to plant in people’s Landscapes. So here is a short list of some of my favorite trees that do well here in West Tennessee.

Mark’s Top Ten Trees for Fall Color –

Red Maple – Acer rubrum
One of our best trees for Fall Color.
Sugar Maple – Acer saccharum
Wonderful Color + the BEST Syrup ever😜
Balled Cypress – Taxodium distichum
Such a unique tree! Bald Cypress are very underutilized for their seasonal interest. They are such a beautiful tree. Interesting fact : The Bald Cypress is a deciduous conifer.
Dogwoods – Cornus florida
Everyone thinks of spring with the Dogwood tree blossoms, BUT – They are beautiful in the fall with their red tinged leaves and shiny red seeds.
Sassafrass – Sassafras albidum
One of my favorite trees for several reasons! But the biggie is the breathtaking Fall Color! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
Ginko – Ginkgo biloba
A “Living Fossil” – This unique tree ‘WOW’S’ in the Fall!
Crepe Myrtle – Lagerstroemia
Not only does this ornamental tree bring outstanding Spring & Summer interest, they also bring eye popping color every Fall!
Black Gum – Nyssa sylvatica
The Black Gum or Tupelo Gum tree is one of my favorite natives!
White Oak – Quercus alba
Big native shade tree with striking, deep crimson/red Fall color.
Sourwood – Oxydendrum arboreum
A very unique native tree, really shows out in the Fall!
