Personally, I love a colorful garden to fully display the season, both spring and fall. One of the best parts of home gardening is collating colors and textures to reflect your style, and seeing that play out across the year. 'Seeing a variety of colors and textures in our landscapes is one of the most exciting parts of home gardening,' Pete Smith, urban forestry program manager at The Arbor Day Foundation. 'It's great to make observations at different times of the year to select new trees and shrubs that add to the aesthetic beauty of your yard,' he adds.
It's true, watching as the tone of the landscape changes feels almost therapeutic. From punchy pinks and oranges to muted greens and mustard, color is the best way to feel engaged with nature and seasonal change. We spoke to two gardening experts to find out their top picks for colorful trees, so read on to find out what they are and how to embrace color in your backyard.
