Chumasande MatiwaneAutumn is when plants begin to wind down in preparation for the winter weather. Although the landscapes can look a bit tired during autumn, many plants breathe a breath of new life into your late-season landscape garden.
Your autumn plants need to be hardy to withstand all the changes that come with the autumn season.
Snowy Mespilus shrubs
Also known as the Amelanchier, this small tree is attractive during all seasons, but autumn is when it shows off its best features. Their star-shaped leaves blossom with a yellowish green that fits right into the autumn season colours. Hopefully, your garden is well conditioned to grow these deciduous plants, as they prefer moist but well-drained neutral soil with full sun to partial shade.

Malus trees

Additionally, they serve as a valuable food source for wildlife, making them an excellent addition to any garden. Their compact size makes them suitable for smaller gardens, as they do not develop robust root systems.
