My young Old Bones Sycamore is already producing seedballs.
The seedballs are not singularly like the native American Sycamore, but this selection looks to be a hybrid, like the London Plane Tree.
Big Pear Fruit
The Kieffer Pears continue to grow in the tree.
Some of them are getting quite large.
Two Toned Pine
The White Pine trees have been changing color this fall, too.
But as soon as they drop all their dead needles, they’ll be fully green again, looking like the evergreen they should be in fall.
Freedom
I let out the young Chickens and they are getting their first taste of freedom.
They work good on the homestead.
Spotting Hickories
It is very easy to pick out where the Bitternut Hickories are.
Their fall color lightens up the landscape.
Fall Needle Drop
In Fall, White Pines will drop a lot of needles.
The trees look diseased with the dying and dead needles.
Locust Cover
This Honey Locust is hiding behind some Blue Spruce, but still can be seen.
Honey Locusts grow a lot faster than the Colorado Blue Spruce.
Giant Miscanthus Grass
Giant Miscanthus is a large grass topped with spectacular plumes in fall.
This tall grass can top out over 10′ tall by fall and is used for fast growing windbreaks, screens, and biomass.
Sumac Glow
Sumacs can nearly glow with their vivid fall colors.
Even this Tiger Eyes Sumac, that was selected for other reasons, has great fall color, too.
What’s Left Of Them
During the storm of 2014, a lot of the Cottonwoods were destroyed in this area.
Some still persist and have given some golden fall color this autumn.
