Saturday Oct 3rd Fall Color Report

Photo showing what colors are here, in the woods across from my house, but still mainly green.

Fall Color has starting to increase in change this week, as we head through the 1st week of October. Some of the trees that had color late last month have actually lost all there leave, These were mainly Ash trees that turned early. This year we really seem to be holding on to Green more then last year. Fall color report.

Here is my list of fall color reports Grantsburg is already reporting Peak Color or near peak, in Burnett County! Rice Lake, Luck, and My Report here in Clayton is now reporting Moderate Color, Dirk Northwest of Rice Lake in Barron country is reporting near peak color, and Hudson and Menomonie are also now reporting at least some color Low color for those areas. I expect colors to starting turning much faster now that we have gotten a frost, and the past cool days.

Colors are really starting to show in Maples This week!

Here is a picture of color that has showed up in Maple this week behind our house, I have really noticed color in all Maples this week, Many Maples in Clayton are turning, Ash trees which have slowed in color last week is starting to pick up speed again, The Ash in our back yard are turning very slowly yellow, The color one that was turning yellow lost all of it's colored leaves. Birch Oak and Poplar are still green, and this is why I went with the low end of Moderate Color category, Looking on the landscape you can see Scattered trees that have color, You are now able to see spotty trees with color. but most color is still green. Peak Colors are likely not far behind for most areas!
