tamarack Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 95% leaf drop here. The 5% is the big oak (still mostly green), a couple half-shed aspen and some understory trees protected from the wind. Stick season has begun. (Except for places with lots of oak.)

Expand Do you have paper birch and Aspen there? I have a lot of it on the edges of my fields and they are still colorful. Pioneer species here before the ash and maple take over.

Expand Some of each but not much of either, and the PB is mostly bare, the aspen (all quaking) half empty and kind of dull. Still some beautiful bigtooth aspen in the general area, with leaves grading from yellow to deep orange. It's much less common than quaking aspen but IMO a prettier species both spring and fall.

dendrite Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Pretty meh season locally. It's as if the leaves change 1 day and the next day they drop. The oaks have clumps of color amongst the green and they're following the same trajectory as the maples...color and then drop within a few days. So there's a lot of leaf drop now with some sprinkled color and a lot of green oaks. It's been a fairly narrow window for decent color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 The wind did some damage today with leaf drop on some of the trees at peak. Good color has been somewhat spotty around here so far. Some nice color in spots with other spots more drab and mundane change along with green and brown oaks.

Sugarloaf1989 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Outside of Vermont the foliage is much worse than last year at least in Connecticut. Enfield has some nice foliage color, but it's mostly in busy urban areas where I can't take pictures. It's just been too warm and rainy this year.

PhineasC Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I have become so spoiled the last two falls in NNE. I can't appreciate the colors anywhere else basically. The colors down here in MD don't even register as existing any more. Brown and dead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarloaf1989 Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I went paddling with a buddy of mine at Woodcreek Pond and the foliage in that area of Northern Connecticut is done and bare for the most part except for the Oaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf1989 Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 I forgot to post this last week. Mohawk Mountain 10/11/20 and this year on 10/15/20. The foliage isn't delayed much, just not good this year. Photo taken this year from a different location because the parking lot was closed. Also 75F outside when I took this picture last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Peak was late this year, around October 23-26 locally with a decent final wave of color. Overall a disjointed and sub-par season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
