Yellow Leaves, White Bark

Japanese White Birch can have yellow fall leaves that contrast well with the white bark on this species. This species grows fast like other Birches.

Some of my young Japanese Zelkova seedlings are coloring up nicely. These trees are related to Elms and have leaves that look similar.

I tried growing hardy Florida Dogwoods, but these seedlings proved to have dieback in my climate. But they do always have awesome fall color.

Black Gums always turn red in fall. I only wish that this tree grew faster.

Viburnum is a large genus, with many different ornamental species. A lot of the species and cultivars can have excellent fall color.

I had a large harvest of Sweet and Hot Peppers this year. The final harvest was done before the freeze.
