It’s taking its sweet time, but the maple tree in the front yard IS turning for fall.
Unlike its cousins in Vermont and New England, which can turn completely in just a week or so, it’s going to take the better part of two months for the change to happen here.
And where the more northeastern of the species will tend to go BRIGHT RED, this has more of a burnt brown, rust, reddish color.
I’m sure that the soil composition, temperature, and seasonal timing differences have a lot to do with the differences.
I’ll take whatever I can get! It’s still gorgous!
