November 4 Fall Color Report

It’s been almost two weeks since my last report and colors are really beautiful on my campus!

On the left is what my tree looked like on October 24 and on the right is what it looked like today! What differences can you see?

Comparing just one branch:

Can you see the difference in color? Wow!

Compare the leaves on the right to those of the left. Most of the leaves are solid pink now, almost purple from a distance! Does it look like many of the berries have been eaten yet?

I am still wondering how long it will be before the leaves all fall off and how long the berries will still be on the limbs. What do you think? Make a prediction!

Junior Naturalist Challenges (continued from my last report):

Use some tape or yarn to mark a particular leaf or branch on one of the trees on your school grounds and see when that leaf falls or that entire branch is bare!

Survey your school grounds and create a color change map showing where the trees that have changed color are located. (On my campus, the dogwood and maple are changing, but some of the other trees are not.)
