Fall Color

Sweetgum

The Sweetgum trees on our property are glorious in the fall and would rival any northern display. The golds and reds against the clear blue autumn skies are so breathtaking we forgive its dropping spiney seed pods that keep us from going barefoot in the yard.

Dogwood

The fall leaf color of the Dogwoods, and the accompanying seed pods gives this spring blooming beauty added value.

Camellia sasanqua

The sananqua camellias have smaller blooms than the japonicas, but cover the whole shrub from before Thanksgiving until Christmas. They also drop their petals around each bush in a beautiful blanket of color. I have several as taller plants on the corners of the house as they have a contained structure and their glossy green leaves are attractive year-round.
