For the October plant of the month I have chosen Fall Fiesta Sugar Maple. The choice was easy because of it’s beautiful fall color and because it is my wife Sara’s favorite tree.
Maple Tree
November Plant of the Month
This unusual sugar maple seedling, so different in shape and growth from the surrounding sugar maple trees, was the result of a seed-variation. Never does a seed exactly reproduce its parent. Neither do any two seeds, even from the same fruit, ever produce plants exactly alike.
Three-flower Maple, A Rare Beauty
An ornamental tree or shrub is defined as having a desired characteristic that adds color from flower, foliage or fruit, good texture from leaves or bark, or seasonal interest. Ornamental trees are usually smaller in size than shade trees and fulfill an important role in a well-designed landscape.
