Sometimes the fruit can be messy on the driveway. Because the camphor has a shallow root system and casts shade, it can be difficult to garden beneath the canopy. You might try a ground cover such as creeping ruellia, but it might be simpler just to make the area neater with a layer of mulch. Do not pile mulch right up to the trunk as this invites problems. The crape myrtles look as if they are on fire.
Red maples are actually red.
Hickories are flaring, cypresses are turning copper, and sumac and the tallows are spectacular. Take note if you wish to add such fall color to your garden. It may not always be as grand as this, but we do have our good years. It's a good idea to shop for trees in the nursery while they have good color. We get good color when we have several really cool but not freezing nights accompanied by warm, sunny days.
