Leaves often emerge one color in spring, deepen or shift in summer, and then ignite into vivid tones in fall, offering multiple visual phases in a single season.
It supports more than just aesthetics.
The seeds feed birds and small mammals, while the canopy provides cover and habitat within the garden ecosystem.
