Celebrate Autumn in the Midwest
Fall's glorious colors inspire us to take our cues from the hues. Here are ways to get out and enjoy the reds, oranges, golds and browns that paint a Midwest autumn.
Flowers and fruits
Dress up your landscape with orange mums. For orange-foliage trees and shrubs, add an apple serviceberry tree (Amelanchier x grandiflora), American hornbeam (Carpinus caroliniana), witch hazel 'Diane' (Hamamelis x intermedia) and dwarf or large fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii or F. major).
Taste a lesser-known orange fruit at September's Mitchell Persimmon Festival in Mitchell, Indiana (mitchellpersimmonfestival.org).
