Fall Color from our Garden in 2017

I’m a big fan of foliage! There is no better time of the year than autumn for those who love foliage, and naturally fall is one of my favorite times of the year. I thought I would share with you some photos I have taken over the last month of the foliage from my garden. Tennessee often has amazing fall color and this year was no exception. I hope you enjoy seeing some of the fall color from my garden!

Fall Color 2017

While its surroundings are lacking in appeal blueberry bushes always have some beautiful fall foliage. They are worth planting for ornamental value in addition to the edible berries.

Fothergilla is an amazing plant for fall color!

This Japanese Maple is ‘Germaine’s Gyration’. I missed the peak color by a day!

There are few trees that can rival the fall color of a maple!

This self sown maple seedling is showing off a brilliant red fall color. I’ll be watching this little maple for many years!

The backyard has a few spots of great fall color. These two maple trees really stand out now that the other trees have dropped their leaves.

Oak leaf hydrangeas seems to turn a nice dark purple/burgandy color. Oak leaf hydrangeas are must have plants in any garden!

Witch hazel has a brilliant yellow fall color. This was a free tree I received a number of years ago. Not only does it look great in the fall but it also has a wonderful fragrance when in bloom!

Here’s another look at the witch hazel.

The ‘Winter Snowman’ camellia sported some beautiful white flowers this year.

The majority of the fall foliage in this photo is from the sassafras trees. They tend toward the red and orange colors mostly.

Here is a ‘Bihou’ Japanese maple sporting some beautiful red color. The stems are yellow which makes this one a neat Japanese maple to own. I have it planted in a pot for portability!

There’s just a little of our fall color this year. Every year is a little different but it’s always fun to watch the foliage change color!
