Missed the Witchhazel

{{gwi:461682}}

That Buckeye looked great. How long did it hold the color? My white ash were average this year. Dont have so many anymore. Locusts were the above average performers. Besides a good yellow show their tiny leaves are easy to deal with when on the ground.

Later trees are just starting up. Think the warm weather will have my metasequoias green until Thanksgiving

We have had full blown fall color for about 3 weeks now in central NH. The first trees to turn, red maples in wet areas and white ash have lost their leaves, but the drier red maples and sugar maples as well as various birches, aspens, witchhazels, etc are quite bright now. The final hurrah will come in the next 2 or 3 weeks, the beeches and oaks. I really love those days that are overcast since the colors seem to just glow.

California is not particularly famed for colorful falls but certain trees are quite colorful. Right now my Bloodgood Plane is a delightful gold /orangy rust. London plane is not supposed to be particularly pretty but this one is.

My Columbia Plane is still growing like gangbusters. It didn't get the memo yet about fall.

My crapes are still in bloom but later in the season they will give me some beautiful orange and scarlet shades.

Oh, forgot to mention. Cornus Florida dogwoods have been EXCELLENT this year. Under rated for fall color. The two i have in more sun have been deep red for a month. No part time show here. The more shaded one is turning slowly. No idea on the cultivar. They have been here longer than i have.

Interesting point about the maples. I will pay attention to the moisture levels today when driving around.

I just planted my Northern Red Oak this summer and it has the most beautiful yellow and firey red color to it. It's beautiful!

Since I'm right on the lakeshore the trees in our neighborhood are later to turn than farther inland...only just in the last few days has it started to really turn and be pretty. The sweetgums are less than impressive. The tree of heavens are bright yellow and nearly spent. The ashes are gorgeous, bright yellow, too. We'll see what this week has to hold.

We are just getting started, within the last week or two. It is so far looking like it might be a good year! There's one Sugar Maple down the road from me that has been an absolute knockout for at least a week now.

Not much yet in my yard but beech is starting to turn yellow at the top, 2 pin oaks getting dark burgundy, Willow oak getting a few red leaves, shumard sort of reddish the surrounding woods outside my yard are more colorful, since there are a lot of maples,osage orange, sassafras, my albas and rubras are holding the green still tulip tree starting yellow up top I have some that don't have fall color but they are green still. poaky1

Most of WI is past its peak or just about to pass its peak.

Fall came very early this year. I took my annual fall trip to Chicago Botanic Gardens last weekend and it was already at peak.

Colors haven't been too vibrant this year. Likely due to the limited rains over the last 30-45 days.

My yard received 0.5" of rain over the last 30 days...some of my trees have defoliated after a brief show of dull color.

Be sure to share picks of your favorite fall shots this year!
