Certainly keeping an eye on the Great Lakes, as water levels continue to descend, e.g. lowest October levels on Michigan-Huron since 2012. Won't break the record lows of January 2013 this winter, but still quite the fall from the record highs of 2019-20. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is very windy around here at times and those fast growing maples don't always stand up to the wind as well. I have a few sugar maples around the yard. Not as brilliant but the orange is about as beautiful as the reds on the autumn blaze maples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago There used to be a 60-ft tall red maple in my neighbor's backyard. It was too big for our small lots, but it was a beautiful, brilliant red color in fall. The 2020 derecho destroyed it. There is a still a young Fall Fiesta sugar maple in the front yard. So far, the tree has not had good color, although this year it is definitely better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
