This came up yesterday on the radio – So here ya go…
“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!

I was asked, “When is the best time to plant a tree or shrub”? I answered, tongue in cheek, “20 years ago”…. 😊 The 2nd Best time to plant? NOW!!
The Plants are looking GREAT at Carters Nursery! The Azaleas are in bloom! The hydrangeas are flushing out beautifully! The Perennials are all emerging nicely! And all is right in the world 😊❤️
Everything is looking so nice! Come in today and see what I’m talking about! 😊

I sat by my Pond yesterday for quite a while. Listening to the wind & waterfalls and watching the leaves fall and blow around. It was a very windy, cloudy, melancholy type of day… But I found a little beauty in it to share 😊
I slowed this still photo down a bit and it really shows the soft, foamy, splashy effect of the Falls. | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
Have a great Monday!

It was a perfect, cool Fall day yesterday. The leaves were raining down around the pond and I just sat down and watched them for a while. I made this short little video sitting there by the pond. This little waterfall flows under this Japanese Maple tree that is in full Fall color right now. I hope it brings a little “Zen” to your day 😊
Have a GREAT day!
