Dogwood November 3, 2018
Fall peak foliage here is usually Oct. 20 but not this year and even last year too. Typically, dogwood trees begin turning maroon color in September. This year it was late October and as you can see from the photo above, the trees are holding their color into November.
Our driveway on November 3 also was full of color with hickories turning their golden yellow.
On November 17, this red oak tree retained the red color. The red oaks retain their leaves until December although they turn brown. In the foreground is another oak retaining its color well into November.
Last year, I also noted the late fall. If this continues, we must consider that our winter is arriving later with spring earlier as well. It may be because of climate change. It certainly feels like it here in Rye Hollow.
