Marlene Asked

I am looking for a tree to plant at the corner of my house. I would like colorful foliage and also branches that would turn color in the winter. Also, I don’t want it to get too large.

The Gardener’s Answer

Hello, Marlene in Pennsylvania: I am happy to give you recommedations but without knowing specifics this is hard to do. Is it possible for you to give me more information in terms of height and width restrictions as well as light conditions? How many hours of sunlight does this space receive and at what time of the day? And what are you hoping for in terms of the branches changing color in the winter?
