Fall Colors

Fall Color

While there is some spotty good color on the drive between Grand Rapids and the Bay City area the “official” reports are that the color is still a week or two away yet. I am sure that some of the color may even be later than that. But that said the trees that turn yellow there seems to be a lot of them that have turned already and in the Bay area even some of the Maples have turned red and there is some leaf fall as well. Here is the latest for the UP for anyone who wants to take a drive up that way

 

Upper Peninsula

Chippewa County.  60-70% color change. Peak fall color expected the first and second week in October.

I am not sure how the do the estimates of the % of color, but my guess is that in Bay County it is in the 30 to 40% range.

Pretty much the only color here is green and brown from the stressed trees from lack of rain. Although the vines/ivy have mostly changed color. We’ll be raking in November and mowing into December again this year.
