9 Showy Trees to Plant This Fall for a Colorful Florida Winter

🌴💐 9 Showy Trees to Plant This Fall for a Colorful Florida Winter

Fall is one of our favorite planting seasons in Florida. The brutal summer heat finally backs off, new trees have time to settle in, and the garden is getting ready for a completely different show.
Right now, some of these trees are already blooming in our gardens, while others are getting ready for their cool-season performance. If you think winter in Florida means less color, plant a few of these.

• 🍁 Acer rubrum - Red Maple
  Yes, you can have real fall color in Florida! Red maple is surprisingly heat tolerant, and its changing foliage brings that familiar autumn look many of us miss in the tropics. A fun tree to mix among all that evergreen tropical foliage. 👉 More
• 🍁 Bauhinia tomentosa - Yellow Orchid Tree
  Delicate yellow bell-shaped flowers with a dark center give this small orchid tree a completely different look from the familiar pink Bauhinias. It is graceful, unusual, and flowers generously without becoming a monster. 👉 More
• 🍁 Bauhinia madagascariensis - Red Butterfly Orchid Tree
  This is a Bauhinia for collectors. Its unusual reddish flowers look like little butterflies scattered through the branches. A rare tree that adds both color and curiosity to the garden. More details
• 🍁 Bauhinia monandra - Napoleon's Plume Orchid Tree
  Soft pink orchid-like flowers, often splashed with deeper color, make this one hard to walk past when it is blooming. It gives you that classic tropical orchid-tree look on a graceful flowering tree. More details
• 🍁Ceiba speciosa - Pink Silk Floss Tree
  This one becomes spectacular when mature. Large pink flowers cover the branches, often as the foliage thins, so you really see them. Even the trunk is a conversation piece, armed with dramatic cone-shaped prickles. 👉 More
• 🍁 Cordia sebestena - Scarlet Geiger Tree
  Brilliant orange-red flower clusters against deep green leaves make Geiger tree look tropical even in the middle of winter. It is a wonderful choice when you want strong, warm color rather than another pink-flowering tree. 👉 More
• 🍁Tabebuia chrysotricha - Dwarf Golden Tabebuia
  One of our favorite winter surprises. The tree drops its leaves and then suddenly erupts in brilliant yellow trumpets, turning almost the entire crown gold. This dwarf form gives you the Tabebuia show without needing a huge tree. 👉 More
• 🍁Jacaranda mimosifolia - Jacaranda
  Few flowering trees create the same dreamy effect as a Jacaranda in bloom. Masses of lavender-blue trumpets turn the canopy into a purple cloud, bringing a color you simply don't see on many trees. 👉 More
• 🍁 Tabebuia caraiba - Yellow Trumpet Tree
  Another spectacular cool-season performer. When the foliage drops, clusters of bright yellow trumpets take over the bare branches. For a short time, it looks less like a tree and more like one enormous bouquet. 👉 More
