pazzo83 Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Central Park is finally getting some color. Street trees? Practically nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's starting to ramp up a bit, still mostly green but I'm seeing more and more reds and yellows. Other parts of Queens look like fruits and vegetables, I've never really seen purple foliage. I'm not looking forward to the dead landscape season.

Dude not only do I have pumping color but a lot of trees are past peak already. I would think you would have had better color than what you describe down there since you radiate well being by JFK.

Sundog Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I drove the Clearview from end to end today and the color was AMAZING. Cunningham Park is at peak right now and so is the rest of the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isotherm Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Past peak since last weekend for both CNJ and SE PA. This scene is pretty common right now: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 The color on the Clearview Expwy is absolutely stunning. Gorgeous color from end to end. I'm really enjoying my drive to and from work this last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of today its not really mostly green anymore, it's not peak (overall) either, other than a few trees the color isn't that impressive yet. It's an odd mixture of 100% green, mixed, near peak, peak, past peak, bare, & just browning off. It looks like a combination of all seasons Random: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allsnow Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Color has been crappy all over this year....been working in warren county the last few day and they are about 75% down. From the Delaware river gap to Pennsylvania its pretty much all down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongBeachSurfFreak Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 There is going to be a pretty big leaf dumb tomorrow with gusts close to 40 any trees at peak will likely lose most of their leaves tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with you guys Is that you changed earlier than us therefore making the leaves more susceptible to those big wind storms from a few weeks back. Out here there was still mostly green leaves a few weeks ago and so the trees retained most of their leaves. Only a few trees had changed color back then. And of course if you look at them now they are bare. Right now Queens looks amazing. It's quite beautiful. Can't speak for Long Island but I hear it's great out that way too.

Eh if they were alway like this we probably wouldn't care as much. It would be awesome if we could hold on to this amazing color for more than just a week or so though. Earlier this fall I thought this season would suck but man oh man have the trees delivered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psv88 Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 past peak on the island now...now there is nothing to talk about, football for now, boring weather for the next month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfa Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 The color was a bit disappointing, a lot of the trees just browned/went bare, there's about as much brown as there is color, so ugly lol. The colorful trees are just losing leaves in droves. Some are still all green, they'll probably stay that way until we see our first true cold blast sometime in December and they'll instantly turn brown.

rgwp96 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 best leaf season in years. the trees are stunning all over the place in nassau/suffolk. wished the trees always looked like this. i bet your area is loaded with norway maples(change to bright yellow color) those are the last trees to change around here and were the brightest of all the trees. Most of the other trees colors were horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormlover74 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 My area has tons of Japanese Maples and they were their usual brilliant red/orange/pink i bet your area is loaded with norway maples(change to bright yellow color) those are the last trees to change around here and were the brightest of all the trees.

Most of the other trees colors were horrible. some areas around mineola only have sycamores...by far the worst tree for leaf color...only brown, even on a good year...but north of mineola all the way to the sound is a mix of decidous trees, alot of oaks and maples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
