Re: was weather, now fall color

Have yet to figure out the mysteries of fall leaf coloration. Don't really think it is a maturity driven phenomenon though. I have a red maple hybrid that has yet to show much color other than yellow, and my next door neighbor has a sugar maple that only sporadically gets really vibrant. Now when we move away from the genus Acer, I have some lovely coloration: Nyssa sylvatica, Cotinus obovatus, Rhus aromatica have been standouts this year.

Gene,
That's interesting about the color change on your Japanese Maple. I
didn't think they required that much maturity to show their color
change. Kitty
