I’m interested to see what color foliage everyone’s trees are for fall, by variety.
When I purchased Hardired nectarine and Methley plum several years ago from the local garden center, the leaves were bright yellow, and bright orange (at time of purchase in fall). However, since then they have exhibited no fall color. (Actually, none of my fruit trees provide colored foliage except a pear that turns dark red). Perhaps shot-hole fungus is causing the foliage to drop prior to changing? I have 12 peach trees on order for next year; it would be nice if some of them have attractive fall foliage.
This is a Tennessee Sugar Maple… I have 2 of these in my yard that I took from the woods when they were small (around 5 ft) and planted in my yard. That was 20 years ago.
Both have turned into very nice trees. The color on both is getting very nice this week.
Also a few wild persimmons I collected today. Some of these will be used for seed collection… others will be eaten.
Colors spotty here in KY south of Lexington. But, Big South Fork and Cumberland River watershed …especially the higher elevations…
are getting pretty.
Just not
quite there yet.
If no freeze tonight…may be better colors in first half of November this year here.
