Umbrella magnolia never colors well, but the combo of some color and huge leaves is noteworthy. Fringe tree in front of it and nearly bare tuliptree right and behind.

My second shellbark hickory. I read that they're shade tolerant and it's certainly proving it by shooting straight up (fast for a hickory) in quite shady conditions.

Another pic of Autum Cascade - it was glowing neon in the morning shade.

Next is Cornus florida ’Appalachian Spring’, new this year

And finally a nearby streetscape with Gingko. My tree, 5 or 6 years in the ground, never looks like this! I remain hopeful.

Well, lost the Gingko pic…

Sumac in the early morning

Heptacodium late morning

Sweetgum in the afternoon

Corylus in the evening

I have a new video showing all of the fall color in my garden: youtube.com/@journeygarden

This is Punica granatum 'Crimson Sky'

Cotinus obovatus and Nyssa 'Green Gable' at peak color here (both taken 2 days ago):

Cotinus 'Grace' is just starting to color up and usually peaks in the first week of November unless we get a hard freeze before then:

And a couple of our nice Amsonias for good measure:

sah67 - love Amsonia hubrichtii, especially combined with Cotinus obovatus!

Acer x freemanii Autumn Blaze leaf on Mentha requienii.

Well, the photo glitch has been fixed, so ...

Liquidambar

Liriodendron

Purple leaved Maple

Ginkgo and Fraxinus

Cercis

Japanese Maple

Hamamelis

Swamp Cypress

Sternbergia lutea

This Celtis occidentalis across the street is a bright gold - picture doesnt do it justice. Once again, my own hackberry doesnt color this well. :/

Wow, floral, never seen baldcypress red like that -- mine and others I've seen always burnt orange. Color hangs on fairly long here, mine have good color for a least 10 days or more.

Close cousin pondcypresses very similar -- closest one alittle late..

Ice Dragon Maple finally decided to show some color

And Ginkgos finally starting ro change with Apollo Sugar in the back

Ground under Chinese elm.

Dawn redwood at 19 yrs old makes an appearance from crowded area.

'Whiteshield' osage orange colors pretty well this year. Often leaves are just frozen.

Like osage orange, 'Millwood x thornless' honeylocust colors pretty well this yr.

Forked (purposely) northern catalpa looks like a scary Halloween tree.

Umbrella magnolia.

Volunteer silver maple had been cut down repeatedly, but always resprouted. Finally surrendered to its persistence and cut all the sprouts to one, and let it go. Coloring on silver maples is variable, but looks like this one is pretty good.

That'll be enough for me. :)

My Gleditsia triacanthos (honeylocust from seed), didn't turn colors all at once.

Here it is early October, a day before a wind 'unhooked' it from its support line. Half yellow, half green as the leaves fell.

The tree stayed reasonably upright so it's off for now.

Pictures taken 11-6-24:

The spirea colored good albeit late for this area:

Winterberry finally turning too.

<continued below after getting blown out of my posting 3 times>

Bicolor oak, hophornbeam and #1 acer pseudosieboldianum have marcescent leaves.

not much for color on the above maple.

#2 A. pseudosieboldianum out front dropped most of its leaves before I branch thinned it.

Red osier dogwood stems turning bright red with all the cool weather we're having.

And we can't forget the winter pots, just finished. I may add a few winterberrys to the mix. ;-)

That's about it for me this season.

I rather liked this zany Ginkgo joining in with the market colour.

And a repurposed mediaeval stone coffin.

Viburnum x burkwoodii 'Mohawk'

Takmukeyama Japanese Maple

Recently planted hell strip in Brainerd MN.

Ginkgo turning as leaves are falling.

Fothergilla is a nice gold color.

tj

Fall smell rather than Fall colour!

Crimson Spire oak finally turning

Can't resist a couple more. Sourwood trying to be a tree instead of a shrub. About 10 ft tall.

Shumard x 'some other' oak - guessing maybe hybrid with scarlet or nuttall oak. Leaves remain until spring (marcescent). This oak usually has issues w/frost damage in spring.

Our much overdue rain due to start today & color seems the best it’s going to be this year - here’s my farewell to fall pics

Lion’s Head Maple

Ever Red on left / Harp String on right

Virides (green maple)

Crimson Queen

Fire Glow - just planted in late July ’24 - darker purple leaves & branches appeared since planted.

Another look at the crimson spire oak. We don’t always get a long enough fall for it to always change color this nicely

I'm in Oxnard CA on Silver Strand, and everything looks like this here. I adore all plants though, so it's all good. There is an Echeveria in there though with some nice color. Hang Loose everybody!

The last of the color for me, likely. My Gingko tends to hold on until frozen and then just drop. This is Acer x ’Cinnamon Flake’ which is unevenly going, but the sections are pretty as they go ;-)

I picked up this sugar maple at a local nursery's end of year sale a number of years ago. It's always the last tree to color in my yard, this season a bit earlier than usual 11/9/24 (it is mostly leafless as of this morning 11/16).

Same tree a few years ago on 21st of November

Our fall weather has been favorable for this Rotundiloba Sweetgum in town. Most years its foliage stays green into late November - early December and freezes on the tree before any color develops. Photo yesterday (11/15/24)

5 days later, and the Cinnamon Flake maple is still looking good - although the top is bare. I think this tree has the nicest color in my yard.

Winter interest (in the Fall). ;-)

Bill - your winterberries have done well this year! With above average summer moisture my 'Winter Red' looks healthier than ever, but no snow here (yet) as a backdrop for a good photo.

Some of the spindle trees in the area have fruited abundantly this fall (photo 11/18/24)

Joining late for the party. a wonderful treat to the eyes and soul. Thanks for the pictures

Maples have the center stage

David, thanks for the "Larch" madness. Much more interesting than March madness.

Thanks. It's a shame the video didn't mention - for European viewers - that larch trees can also be seen in the Alps.

Plenty of larches here too, Larix decidua, although they're not native to the British Isles. Very common in forestry plantations.

The sun came out today and we still have some fall colour.

Fagus sylvatica, Beech.

Just got home to Oregon after our 26 day, 2600 mile tour of the west, and there is still a lot of color in my Willamette Valley garden. Hydrangea Zorro, Fothergilla Legend Of The Small, Hydrangea quercifolia Munchkin, Parrotia subaequalis, Cotinus obovatus, Acer japonicum Ed Wood.

More: Hydrangea Oregon Pride with Abutilon Dennis, Acer palmatum Ed Wood, Bracteantha Granvia Harvest Orange still going strong!

One more. We saw a lot of amazing gardens and landscapes on our tour, but I don't think there are many places that can achieve this incredible, classic PNW vignette...on November 24.

I can expect that California, Oregon, and other PNW more benign climates may still have some fall foliage fracas going on.

HOWEVER: you can still pull off a bit of frenzy here in the brutal Ohio River valley region at the end of November - and even at altitude in the unforgiving central Kentucky Bluegrass. Here is what is wrapping up (before last night's snow) at the Valley...

This used to be called Kalopanax pictus; I suspect it has a re-name.

Growing under and amongst Hackberry, Black Locust, and Bitternut Hickory in stupidly droughty conditions, this is an old test seedling maple from one of the bitter northern plains states research programs, South Dakota State University: Acer truncatum 'XPL Red Leaf'

I will call this Yellow for the species involved - which isn't necessarily known to memorably glow. Tetradium daniellii is giving it the old college try on Rivalry Weekend...

OK, at least they make a better account for themselves than Lonicera maackii...

Kicking it up a notch are some Viburnum Valley volunteers: Viburnum prunifolium is quite prolific here, and I have more than a few individuals that are still handsomely clad in their fall finery.

Another exotic but tough old buzzard - acquired from field grown plots on the frigid flats of northern IL/south central WI at Beaver Creek Nursery - is Heptacodium miconioides, offering its version of off-yellow. I am finding more than a couple seedlings in the vicinity of the original plant. At least I hope these are not suckering stems...

Selections and seedlings of Viburnum dentatum are still providing highlights here. Arrowwood Viburnum (like Blackhaw Viburnum) are beloved by birds when in fruit, and they do all the work in depositing them around the property to provide unexpected delight this time of year. Not to mention innumerable naming opportunities...

Not bright enough? Here are a few more.

This is an oddball species that started out in the garage of @kevin_5 in St. Charles, IL. He decided it needed a permanent southern vacation, and sent it with me to the Valley about 20 years ago. It has died back twice in the most severe tests that central Kentucky can throw at it, but Lindera reflexa has shown pretty nice (late) fall color.

Hanging in there - far too late, in my estimation - is Chionanthus virginicus var. henryi. This plant was contributed by the late Don Shadow when he was still running his container operation. It has tolerated full western exposure growing under oaks, and gives a bit of color here at the end of fall as the White Oak overhead purples out.

A young Quercus rubra seedling putting down roots near the sinkhole provides a spark among the less flamboyant Honeylocust, Hackberry, and Black Walnut populating this area.

Here's the last holdout next to the house: Hamamelis x intermedia 'Aphrodite'

Lastly in this treatise is my champion for persistence: Parrotia subaequalis will retain color well into December, and marcescent leaves the rest of the winter. It absolutely sparkles when the sun shines, but still shows how intense its hues can be even on cloudy days.

Wow, @ViburnumValley, just looked up your Parrotia Subaequalis. What an amazing tree. Chinese Ironwood. Wish I could grow it here in my Colorado Zone 5 . . . . Thanks for sharing.

Tamukeyama JM under Royal Burgundy flowering cherry at my brother’s house

VV - I wish my P subaequalis would color up that nicely. Mine has been a very dark burgundy, almost black. It is also much broader in habit than yours (photos from a couple days ago)

A couple viburnum leaf photos - first a vigorous maple-leaf viburnum I rescued this past spring from a vacant lot in a new housing development

And a Brandywine in the backyard (12/1/24)

Most of these were taken in November. Hope you all don't mind some fall blooming flower pics to go along with the foliage =)

Not at all John.

The title says 2024 Fall Colors. :-)

Wintersweet is loaded with buds. They are expected to fully open around new year

After a little warm spell, another round of color hit the neighborhood. Don't remember getting new color this late in the year before but glad it came.
