In these designs, the autumn leaves of maple trees are often used as the main background. As long as the main color and auxiliary color are reasonably controlled, and the proportion and diversity of colorful plants are managed well, a good viewing effect can be achieved (Luo et al., 2023b). Moreover, evergreen trees can connect the autumn and winter landscapes, making the overall visual effect more continuous (Wang and Zhao, 2020). By reasonably combining maple trees with other plant species, a landscape space with obvious seasonal changes and in line with public aesthetics can be formed.
