Fall color turns across the canopy

On October 21, multiple canopy trees logged colored and falling leaves the same day: shagbark hickory, dwarf chinquapin oak, gray birch, northern red oak, black oak, black cherry, pignut hickory, bear oak, green ash, red maple, silver maple, and eastern redbud.¹ Autumn senescence is underway across the woodland and planted canopy, continuing the early leaf-out pattern documented in mid-September and proceeding under warm nights and dry soil.¹
