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

Red Gum
Black Gums always turn red in fall. I only wish that this tree grew faster.
Viburnum Fall Color
Viburnum is a large genus, with many different ornamental species. A lot of the species and cultivars can have excellent fall color.
Laceleaf Sumac
Laceleaf Sumac cultivar is similar to the common Staghorn Sumac, except for the more ornamental leaflets, that are deeply divided. This Sumac cultivar also has the outstanding fall color of the species.
Toothpick Tree
Deer buck rubs cause many little trees to look like toothpicks. Each buck can rub dozens of trees each fall.
Pioneer Sumac
Sumac is claiming a lot of ground on my Oasis. These suckering trees work good for afforestation. They color up nicely in fall, too.
Yellow Locust Tree
The Black Locust trees usually have their green leaves burnt off by a freeze. But since no freeze has happened yet, the leaves have started a natural progression from green to yellow.
Pecan Yellows
The Time has come for the Pecan trees to turn yellow. Pecan trees have not been as reliable as other Hickories for good fall color.
Fall Dogwoods
The native Dogwoods are coloring up now. These Iowa Dogwoods have berries that are eaten by wildlife, which helps spread them all over.
Hickory Love
Hickories are ornamental trees that give wildlife and me food. The fall color can be good to outstanding.
