The Arboretum does get displays of fall color, however unlike the east coast and the high mountains where the displays are fast, furious and massive, our display is slow to unfold, varied and spread out among our 127 acres. Right now the color is peaking because the combination of cool weather and almost 5" of rain in the last several weeks has created conditions favorable to bright red, orange and yellow leaves. Below are some pictures taken over the last three days. Here's a map to them and other great fall color here at the Arboretum.
