When we plan a garden for fall, we look beyond the one tree that turns bright red in October. Color can start high in the canopy, move through a layer of shrubs, and finish among the flowers and foliage at your feet. That mix gives the garden depth—and more to enjoy on a walk from the driveway to the front door.
A tree that's planted in the wrong place can eventually outgrow its space, require constant pruning, interfere with structures, or need to be removed long before it reaches its full potential.
