Paleocene Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I did not see a thread for this, so, here we go. As of 10/21 along the fall line in lower Montgomery County near DC, we are still mostly green. Maples are changing color but not yet peaking. Poplars really got roasted by the mini-drought and lost a lot of leaves or are brown/crispy (they're yellow in good years). Oaks are still mostly green. Here's a sweet gum tree in a local park that is usually vibrantly red and orange but this year is more muted. The white pines are entering full needle drop around the area, too. Photo taken quickly and carelessly on my smartphone. Post your foliage pics and reports here! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted October 23 Share Posted October 23 Seeing some decent color now. Can tell winter is coming with all the light coming in on the south side now. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paleocene Posted October 26 Author Share Posted October 26 Was up in central PA this weekend (north of Harrisburg by about 30 miles). Lots of color, still some green, definitely peak foliage there over the next seven days. And totally stellar weather to see it all in. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanTheMan Posted October 26 Share Posted October 26 Got married on Saturday and then rented a cabin in Bluemont to decompress for a couple of days, peak fall! 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted Thursday at 12:51 PM Share Posted Thursday at 12:51 PM Getting pretty close to peak in central MD I think. Probably next week for MBY? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted Thursday at 06:34 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:34 PM We're late down here this year. Almost a full 2 weeks later than last year. Peak will prob be next week. Some areas I drive around are starting to look pretty awesome. I'll post more pics later but this is where we're at right now 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, maples are at peak in my nhood, some are dropping leaves. Oaks are finally showing orange/brown/yellow and not all green. Overall, color is great! Peak here will be around Nov 5th, which is roughly average for my neck of the woods. Will be excellent color for a spooky halloween eve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Chill Posted Friday at 10:34 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:34 PM Some vibrant maples popping along with all the others. Really enjoying being outside and taking it all in before brown season 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted Saturday at 12:10 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:10 AM Probably another few days until peak color here. Some trees at peak/ past(Maples) while some oak varieties aren't quite there yet. Very pretty now, and the leaves are coming down. Leaf blowing/mulching season is here and will go until early Dec. Fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Leaf fall is well behind schedule here looking my past photos. Usually I have piles by this point but our front yard maple is still up and colorful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted 45 minutes ago Share Posted 45 minutes ago Leaf fall seemed to really start in earnest just the last couple days around me. Definitely at peak color more or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
