I am in the process of designing my landscape. I live in the foothills of Clovis, CA on 7 acres. I absolutely love the fall colors that you see in the Northeast in the fall. The problem is that I have tried trees like the sugar maples and they just can't take the heat that we receive in our area. It reaches 105+ for sometimes weeks in our area. Our winters are great though. I want the full array of colors and distinct bark and foliage. Can anyone out there suggest trees that will give great color in the fall but survive our brutal summers? I was told that the zone tags would start including the summer zones but that has never happened. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions
