So far none of my Northern Pecans are producing nuts. In the fall, these trees can have color like other Hickories.

Iowa Chestnut Tree
So far, blight hasn’t killed my American Chestnut trees. This is a young one nearing flowering age.
Pine Cones in Youth
Japanese Black Pines produce Pine Cones early in life. Which may be good as these Pine trees may only have short lifespans.
Bring on the Birds
The young seedling Crabapples are producing a lot of fruit. The fruit lasts into the winter, giving birds something easy to eat.
Pine Straw
The long needled Pitlolly Pine could make some pine straw in a plantation. But I only have a few, so will just enjoy their fall needle drop.
Shumard Oak
Shumard Oaks appear to be hardy in my climate. These trees have fall color similar to Red Oaks.
English Oak
English Oak isn’t really known for having fall color, but this small one does have a touch of some. The orange fall color looks good, but the nearby Staghorn Sumac dulls it.
