Enjoy the colors of autumn

Fabulous fall colors surround us these days. For those who love the bright colors of autumn, it’s a year of visual overload, in the nursery, in our arboretum, and around town.

On the streets, few trees shone brighter than our own Pacific Sunset® Maple, an adaptable, street-tough hybrid of Shantung Maple (Acer truncatum) and Norway Maple (Acer platanoides). Glossy, dark green leaves of this versatile, medium-size shade tree provide cool shade all summer before heating up with bright colors of red to orange in the fall. Detailed information and downloadable fact sheets for Pacific Sunset® and Norwegian Sunset® Maples are located in our Introductions section.
