Shop now for trees with autumn colored foliage!

One of the distinguishing characteristics of a tree is the fall colored foliage. In the San Francisco Bay Area, we are fortunate enough to have a handful of reliable trees that display great color each autumn. Trees such as: Pistacia chinense ‘Keith Davey’(Chinese Pistache) has dense foliage and bright red fall color. Liquidambar styraciflua (Sweet Gum) has several cultivars with reliable fall color. In particular, ‘Burgandy’- deep purple red; ‘Palo Alto’ – bright orange and ‘Festival’ –yellow, orange and red mixture. The leaves have five lobes and look similar to a Maple. Best time to buy? In fall, to pick the color of the tree!
