Fall Color Report # 3

Fall Color is starting to explode quickly across the area with the cool and cloudy weather we've been having, but it has become especially colorful across the North, where Moderate color is being reported from several locations including Grantsburg, Luck and Minong. Low color is now bring reported in Rice Lake Spooner and Menomone, with Little color still showing up in Birchwood and Hudson, Areas where there are lots of earlier changing trees like Maple and Ash will have lots of color, but areas where there are more late turning trees will still be mainly green. Leaf-Seekers will want to get up to the Northern areas soon, they will be peaking in the next week or 2. Southern locations will likely peak with in the next 2-3 weeks. Sunday will be the next nice day for leaf viewing.

Nice Yellow Ash in my front yard. This tree is nearly at it's highest color.

I am officially reporting Low Color 30% Early trees have high color, Ash are peaking and Sugar Maples are getting very colorful, and now Red Maples are starting to turn. 3 trees in my yard are showing color including this ash in my front yard in the picture above. the Second large ash in my back yard has started turning golden yellow, and a young Red Maple I just planted this past spring is starting to turn a beautiful red-blaze color. The oaks in my yard are still very green. Looking out on the landscape I can still see lots of color, but spots of nice color are showing up, We will likely be going into the Moderate color category very soon.
