What are the varieties of potted red-leaf trees
Let's talk about the varieties of potted red-leaf trees and some common experiences in green plant maintenance. Let's take a look together.
1. Red Dogwood
Red Dogwood is a new product among colorful trees in recent years. The rootstock used for grafting it is the wild yellow Dogwood in our mountainous areas. Have you heard the saying "Fireworks in March descending on Yangzhou"? The word "fireworks" comes from the flowers of yellow Dogwood. Since the red Dogwood variety came out, yellow Dogwood has gradually disappeared from people's vision. Compared to yellow Dogwood, its advantages include maintaining a fiery red leaf color from spring to before the leaves fall in autumn. It flowers around April every year, and after flowering, it looks very dreamy, just like "vast and misty waves."

2. Red-leaf Berberis
In many places, it is also called purple-leaf Berberis because the color of the leaves can change depending on the sand content of the soil. On sandy soil, the leaves are purple, and on clay soil, the leaves are light red. Due to its small size, red-leaf Berberis is usually used as a border plant for garden paths or green hedges. For example, it can be planted next to garden paths or in lawns, trimmed into neat "auspicious cloud patterns". The combination of red and green leaves creates a very striking visual effect!

3. Red-leaf锦带
It is a red-leaf ornamental plant variety selected from the plant variety "Red Prince锦带". Ordinary锦带 flowers may also be familiar to you, with green leaves and pink or red flowers. However, the red-leaf锦带 variety maintains red leaves from sprouting to defoliation. It blooms pink flowers every summer during the high-temperature season, and when the flowers are abundant, they look like strings of firecrackers, very beautiful. It is very heat-resistant and cold-resistant and can survive the winter outdoors in the Northeast region. Especially for families with fences, planting this flower next to the fence to create a flower wall will make the effect even more spectacular after flowering.

4. Red Flowered继木
It was mainly used in Hubei, Hunan, Fujian, and the two Guangdong provinces, but in recent years, with the change of climate, it has also appeared in the northwestern inland provinces. This plant, red Flowered继木, has relatively small leaves and mainly appears in the form of hedges and "round balls" in courtyard greening. Its flower shape is somewhat similar to the common honeysuckle, with the only difference being that its flowers are red, making them very beautiful after blooming. The leaves are red all year round, especially when planted with green lawns or white landscape stones, creating a very striking visual contrast!

5. Red-leaf Photinia
Red-leaf Photinia first became popular in the Xiaoshan area of Zhejiang. Its characteristic is that the growing tips of the branches have blood-red leaves, which are resistant to sun, poor soil, pruning, and can withstand high and low temperatures. It can safely survive the winter outdoors from Guangzhou in the south to the three northeastern provinces. In current greening, red-leaf Photinia has three forms: hedges, round balls, and lollipop shapes. You just need to plant them according to the greening situation of your own courtyard. For example, lollipop shapes can be planted on both sides of the entrance, round balls can be planted at equal distances in the flower beds, and hedges can be used to "border" the garden paths. Since only the new shoots are red, as long as we prune diligently after each red-leaf period, we can always keep its leaves red.

6. Purple-leaf Dwarf Cherry
It is a purple-red leaf ornamental variety selected from the绿化 tree red-leaf Plum. If you see purple-red and light red purple-leaf Dwarf Cherries on the market, there is no need to panic. This is because of the results of grafting with different rootstocks. Leaves grafted with mountain peach are lighter in color, while those grafted with mountain apricot are darker. Planting a purple-leaf Dwarf Cherry in the form of a lollipop tree in a well-lit, quiet corner of your home can highlight the phrase "a touch of red in a sea of green".

7. Chinese Red-leaf Poplar
Friends living in the north must have a deep impression of white poplar trees, but whether it's triploid white poplar or the sweep新疆 poplar, they are all green-leafed species. However, this red-leaf poplar maintains a red leaf color from sprouting to the high-temperature season of summer. According to Fenglin's knowledge, there are many red-leaf tree varieties, but it is rare for a red-leaf species to grow into a large tree, and red-leaf poplar is one of them! Imagine planting two red-leaf poplars on both sides of your front door. The neighbors can probably see a huge red-leaf tree from a distance. Who wouldn't want to live a "red and prosperous" life?
