Interesting leaves are falling to the ground. Ginkgo leaves have littered the ground, while a lone Purple-leaved Sycamore Maple leaf is on top of them.

Green Weeps
The forest is looking bare, but a lone Weeping Willow stands out. This fast growing hybrid tree keeps its leaves on later than most other deciduous trees.
The Usual Cypress
The Bald Cypress is a deciduous conifer like the Dawn Redwood and Japanese Larch that I grow. Just like the other two species, this conifer has dependable fall color.
Golden Ginkgoes
Some years the fall color on Ginkgos is lackluster, this is not one of those years. These Ginkgo trees are quite the focal point right now.
Rose Arborvitae
While the Arborvitae is staying a consistent green, the native Rose behind it is stunning in color. Both of these plants add different elements for wildlife.
Peachy Needles
The Dawn Redwood has started to change from its summer green. The peachy-orange fall color is different than another deciduous conifer, the Larch.
Larch Glory
Larches are conifers that lose their needles in fall. But before that, they turn to a glorious yellow.
Sugar Maple Represents Fall
Sugar Maples are known to be good for fall color. That is why there is one in the yard.
Yellow Linden
Fall has yellowed the unusual leaves on the Caucasian Linden. This species may be even more attractive than our native Linden, the American Basswood.
Now We are Tall
Now that a Giant Cottonwood tree fell over last year, the Lombardy Poplars are looking a lot taller. These trees are the narrowest trees I grow.
