Deciduous Trees

Deciduous trees are trees that shed their leaves annually in the fall and grow new ones in the spring. These trees are prized in landscaping for their seasonal interest, offering shade in the summer, vibrant fall colors, and allowing sunlight to filter through in the winter. Common deciduous trees include maples, oaks, and birches. Deciduous trees are often used to create focal points in the landscape, provide shade for outdoor living areas, or line streets and driveways. They also contribute to the ecological health of the area by supporting wildlife and improving air quality. When planting deciduous trees, it’s important to consider their mature size and the impact of their seasonal changes on the overall landscape design.
