Autumn landscape trees By far one of the most wonderful ways to enjoy the autumn season is by driving through the countryside and viewing the amazing array of colors sprinkled throughout the nearby trees. It seems that the colors can be seen for miles, with bright spurts of yellow and orange, deep red and purple, and even hints of gold and brown. These autumn landscape trees do not just have to be enjoyed on a Sunday afternoon drive, but can easily become part of your own autumn landscape plans. With the right selection of autumn landscape trees planted in your own yard, you will soon be able to sit on your own back porch and enjoy the colorful show.

One of the most popular trees for any American backyard is the oak tree because of its sturdy structure. It makes a great place to get shade in the summer and is always hardy even in the coldest winter seasons. There are so many different varieties of the oak tree that it may seem impossible to decide which one is best for your autumn landscape. Choosing an oak tree for your autumn landscape is as simple as deciding what type of foliage you would like included in the plan because oak trees are normally hardy in almost any climate zone in North America. Pin Oak trees usually turn a deep red in the fall while White Oak and Northern Red Oaks usually turn a deeper reddish brown color.

While the oak tree will usually turn colors later in the fall season, if you are looking for an [autumn landscape tree]that turns colors earlier in the season, you may want to look for a Maple Tree. These trees grow extensively throughout the northeastern and southeastern United States, but can grow well through much of North America. The most popular Maple Trees are the Sugar Maple, the Norway Maple and the Red Maple. As far as color is concerned, the Maple Tree can be tricky because it really depends on the intensity of heat and humid approaching the autumn season. The Sugar Maple tree can produce leaves that are a light to medium yellow-orange color all the way to a deeper red, depending on environmental issues like soil type, the change of temperature and even the amount of rainfall for the season.

Another wonderful choice for autumn landscape trees is the American or European Beech trees. These trees endure the winters well and even have leaves that carry on through the winter as a medium tan to brown color. The major differences between the American and European beech trees is that the American beech tree is larger in stature and does not hold up to traffic and disturbance as well as the European beech tree. The European beech tree will also do better in warmer climate zones, while the American beech tree is grown throughout North America, even in colder regions. Depending on the area where you will be planting the tree should determine what makes it into your selection of autumn landscape trees. The American beech tree also boasts a beautiful gray bark and golden brown foliage in the fall while the bark on the European beech tree is a standard brown and the foliage will vary widely depending on the environment around.
