Fall Foliage in Carrollton
/The peak fall color in my parents Carrollton yard was in December this year….and seemed more vibrant than usual. The crape myrtle leaves turned red and stayed attached long enough to be noticed.
The pecan turned stayed green for a longer…then turned yellow. It sheds small branches of leaves rather than single leaves. I caught one small branch in the process of turning…the sun bringing out more colors than I had noticed previously.
The mulberry leaves turn yellow. They dominate in the collection of leaves that must be mowed/mulched into the yard.
The red oak in the front yard is indeed very red when the sun shines through the leaves.
Even the neighbor’s wisteria that is coming over the fence contributed fall color.
After last summer’s drought and high temperatures in this area, the trees have apparently recovered sufficiently to provide a magnificent fall display…before settling into winter.
