Fall Color
Fall colors are peaking here in central North Carolina. I have always loved the colors of fall. Where I grew up, we had a sugar maple in our front yard and it would always change to a pretty golden yellow.
I bought a sugar maple 13 years ago to have a tree that reminded me of the one I had as a child. Now sugar maples are not native to this part of the state. They grow well in the mountains where it is cooler. I know my tree has struggled during our hot and humid summers, but it has survived. It even fell over during its first year during strong winds! I tied it down after that, and it has grown albeit very slowly.
This year is the first year that I have had solid color. Although some of the colors have some orange in them I am happy with the look.
Maybe next year, the tree will be more all over yellow, I can wait, after all I waited 13 years to get orangy yellow.
