Fall color among Green Ash Species October 6th 2013

Here in Eastern Iowa, most areas are still reporting low color, however fall colors have been increasing quite a bit across the area. Ash trees are still taking the main show, but most are quite beautiful at this time with Green Ash turning beautiful gold-yellow color, White ashes are purple. Maples, both sugar and red as well as autumn blaze species are just starting to turn red and orange. These are all mostly Early changing trees. Late changing trees such as oaks, aspens, cherries, birches are still green. I suspect that fall colors will really start to increase this next week.
