@dabertime@mstdn.social I live a little above 43N. My maples begin to change to red the last two weeks of August; my neighbors who have a different variety change rapidly to bright red once we get frost which can vary widely from year to year, end of August to first of October. But my maples gradually turn brilliant yellow the first week of October and then drop their leaves the last of the month, later than all but oaks. Even in our neighborhood autumn can be very different year to year. So delicious. 1/2
