Beautiful autumn colors in October with the color-changing leaves of many deciduous trees.
Beautiful autumn colors in October.
Mainly deciduous trees and shrubs have now shown that the winter is
beautiful. Everyone thinks their foliage breathtaking spectacle. A walk
through the deciduous forest is great for the eye (all those colors!),
Your nose (wonderfully crisp autumn air and the smell of mushrooms) and
your ears (run by a crackling carpet of fallen leaves). The garden is
the equally. With the right plants, it is there now a warm color
opulence.
Many trees and shrubs that belong in our kind of climate, go into hibernation and shed their leaves. They get there first have many useful substances (mainly sugars) and store it as starch (carbohydrates) in their trunks, branches and roots. Sugar acts like antifreeze in their juices and protect from frost. The chlorophyll breaks down, especially red and yellow dyes come in its place. Moreover, various toxins in the leaves stuffed for disposal. All this together makes everyone fall back to an unparalleled flaming colors. The best is that after a sunny and warm autumn, a so-called ‘Indian Summer’.

Now is the perfect time to garden centers, nurseries and in your area to see which kinds you like best
If they are bald and at rest, you can buy them in your garden and plants (plants as it never freezes!). You know what colors you expect next year. Shades of yellow and orange to orange-red often dominate. This is especially the case with maples (Acer), dried tree (Amelanchier), birch (Betula), poplar (Populus), beech (Fagus), but also in Liriodendron, Carya and deciduous conifers and Ginkgo Larix.
Red predominates in some maples (Acer) and American oak (Quercus) of Eastern America and Liquidambar. If leaves show bright colors they still live. Only after they die and wither they are usually brown.
Few recommendations that provide intense colors (though there are many more):
Orange: Acer japonicum ‘Aconitifolium’ and ‘Vitrifolium’, Acer palmatum ‘Osakazuki’, Acer rubrum ‘Red Sunset’, ‘Red King and Scanlon, Amelanchier lamarckii and A. laevis; Berberis thunbergii ‘Electra’, Cornus alba ‘Sibirica’, Fothergilla major, Prunus kurilensis ‘Ruby’, Prunus sargentii ‘Rancho’.
Red: Aronia arbutifolia; Berberis ‘Red Tears’, Berberis thunbergii ‘Emerald’, Cotoneaster horizontalis ‘Robustus’, Euonymus hamiltonianus ‘Indian Summer’, Nyssa sylvatica.
Pair of Red: Calicarpa bodinieri ‘Profusion’, Euonymus alatus ‘Compactus’, Euonymus bungee anus.
Purple Red: Euonymus grandiflorus, Fraxinus americana ‘Autumn Applause’, ‘Autumn Purple’ and ‘Rose Hill’, Fraxinus angustifolia ‘Raywood’, Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Worplesdon’.
Beautiful autumn coloration of the Liquidambar styraciflua ‘Worby Rose
TIP: many beautiful perennials discoloration (eg, Bergenia) and even have many conifers’s a different shade of winter than in summer. Who should watch: plenty of surprises!
Garden Tips for October
Bring the last container plants to their wintering area.
Plenty of water hoses and nozzles to dry.
Put pots of parsley and chives for the kitchen window: you have fresh greens all winter.
Vulnerable furniture clean and store.
Green tomatoes can ripen inside.
In sensitive plants winter protection application.
Organic mulch spread on the floor gives extra protection, a layer of fallen leaves as well.
Remove fallen leaves are evergreen plants regularly and your lawn.
