Leaves in August 2013
/We have four types of trees growing in our yard that are abundant in our region: sycamore, tulip poplar, oak and maple.
The leaves are looking a little battered at this point in the season. The sycamore has tiny holes in its leaves.
The tulip polar has round marks where the leaf has died. It looked like they were higher density on the branches closer to the ground.
In a few months the maple leaves will be red; the tulip poplar’s leaves will be yellow. The oak will look deep red when the sun is shining through them but look brown on closer inspection. The sycamore leaves will curl and fall - tough and leathery - some of them will last until the next season relatively intact. I’m going to do a leaf post each month through the fall…so stay tuned.
