@ed FWIW Johnson’s Nursery near #Milwaukee produces a strain of #musclewood known for brighter red fall color. They are good to work with as a homeowner if you live in the area and are a major supplier for municipal and commercial landscaping at least in the upper Midwest. Please plant #nativeTrees.

@ed the muscle like look of the trunk and branches of #musclewood trees is great. I’ve planted several of them in my yard and they seem to do well. I’ve run across them in the woods only rarely. There’s a spot along #LostCanyonTrail in #GovernorDodgeStatePark in #Wisconsin that has a pretty good patch of them.
