re: Fall foliage in Louisiana

Look at various maples make sure you get the correct size for your area and some are more consistent yellow or orange . Yellow Birch and river birch are great yellows. Gingkos are pretty yellows but be careful about the sex of the tree to avoid the fruit mess. Scarlet oaks are amazing reds. Also shrubs can be beautiful for fall color like oak leaf hydrangeas or witch hazel.
