The following is a partial list of trees with notable fall color. Fall color is
influenced by weather, location, and plant health. Many of our trees are
propagated from seeds --- thus there will be a fair amount of variability
amount trees even in the same species.
Warm days and cool, crisp night produce the best fall color. Color does not
develop as well when we have warm night temperatures. Trees in full sun
develop better color than those in partially shaded locations. Trees under
stress tend to develop fall color earlier than healthy trees.
