COLOR + FORM = DRAMA

Horizontal form & burgundy foliage Japanese maple at right, below. Light green foliage, weeping willow at left, above.

Contrast colors & contrast forms for fabulous tree combinations.

Imagine a purple leaf plum with a burgundy Japanese maple. Yawn.
.
Go for the DRAMA!!! Use contrast.

    This is so lush and wonderful! We're planning a dry creek this spring to hopefully remedy our flooding problem, and this is exactly the kind of landscaping I've envisioned......just gorgeous!
