Great for shading in the summer, and this tree has beautiful flowers in shades of pink, white and red, plus it bears fruit in varying shades of red and gold, so this one is decorative as well as edible.

Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum), although a little more finicky than the other two, it’s best not to put it where it will be completely in the sun all day, but it makes up for it in its breathtaking, foliage that turns red in the autumn. Depending on the kind, its bark is also red.
