Hello, new to this forum...

Howdy. My name's Ted, I'm new to the forum. I'm no expert by any stretch, but down the road, if I do my homework...I might be less incompetent.

At any rate, if you all were going to landscape with blinding fall color in mind, or gear a nursery along that line, what types of trees (midwest US) would you be thinking in terms of?

Of course Sugar Maple, Red Maple, Ash, Autumn purple ash, Chinese Pistache, Red Oak, etc...what are some other varieties you would consider?

Thanks, much appreciated!

BTW...My son is interested in the Urban Forestry Program at MU...(Univ. Missouri Columbia)...any suggestions or recommendations?

Have him check out the SSA at

for a start.
