‘Fall Fiesta®’ has been a crowd favorite for quite some time. It’s hard to argue with stunning fall color and thick, glossy foliage. Leaves turn lovely shades of gold, orange and red. Reds appear at the top where the sun hits most directly. This tree holds up in hot, windy weather better than the straight species. While it would love to be in consistently moist, loam soil with a slightly acidic pH, it adapts well to most soils. Avoid soggy clay substrates with high alkalinity. This tree is not seedless, but its seeds provide food for wildlife.
