Fall Color Report #7

Fall Color peaked, and passed very quickly in the local area, Most locations are now past peak, All of the Northern and Central locations have past their peak, the only acceptation is Hudson which is at peak now.

At my location I am officially reporting Past Peak conditions, The most colorful trees only lasted about 1 week long before the leaves fell. It was the fastest time to peak, and peak I’ve ever experienced and it is notably early this year as well by about 2 weeks. Most trees seen on the landscape are either brown or leafless only very late turning trees such as Hemlock, Sliver Maple have leaves left leaving 95% of trees bare. In my yard all Oaks have long past peaked and are now joining our 2 ash trees in being leafless, my new Red Maple is now bare, Very few trees actually remain green in our yard. The lilac bushed remain primarily green, but are starting to change color. Our Apricot has turned yellow and is at peak and quickly loosing leaves, our Apple Tree is starting to turn yellow-green. The only trees not showing signs of color are the Willows and my young Bald Cypress which remain as green as they were in July!
