Deer buck rubs cause many little trees to look like toothpicks.
Each buck can rub dozens of trees each fall.
Pioneer Sumac
Sumac is claiming a lot of ground on my Oasis. These suckering trees work good for afforestation.
They color up nicely in fall, too.
Yellow Locust Tree
The Black Locust trees usually have their green leaves burnt off by a freeze.
But since no freeze has happened yet, the leaves have started a natural progression from green to yellow.
Pecan Yellows
The Time has come for the Pecan trees to turn yellow.
Pecan trees have not been as reliable as other Hickories for good fall color.
Fall Dogwoods
The native Dogwoods are coloring up now.
These Iowa Dogwoods have berries that are eaten by wildlife, which helps spread them all over.
Hickory Love
Hickories are ornamental trees that give wildlife and me food.
The fall color can be good to outstanding.
Kiwi Falling Up
My Kiwi vine is starting to show yellow fall colors. This is the first year I have it crawling up something. In this case, I have started using cattle panels for these vines.
This is the female cultivar known as Ananasnaya.
Flowering Tobacco
Flowering Tobacco has been popping up in places where it wasn’t planted this year.
Since it has been wet all year, the tiny seeds have taken off quite fast and have even resulted in this nice specimen above.
Chinese Sumac Lacking
Chinese Sumac is one of my less-hardy Sumacs.
The fall color is usually lacking, too. Though this year has been better than usual because of no freeze yet.
Filazel Change of Seasons
Filazels can show up in fall with color.
In a few years these bushes should bear large quantities of nuts.
