OAK
I'm in the Phoenix area and our leaves don't turn color until the end of November/early December, so I have to live vicariously. It's hard to tell what my favorite autumn tree is, but I've always been drawn to orange first and then yellow.
Let's take a look at how your favorite trees come to peak -
pear
pecan
persimmon
red maple
aspen
crabapple
pomegranate
sassafras
black tupelo
apple
beech
birch
elm
hickory
honey locust
maple
mulberry
paw paw
sassafras
Why do leaves turn color?
The simple answer -
Chlorophyll breaks down and as they lose their green, colors show. Early frost can weaken the colors.
Enjoy the season of leaves!
