Description
Trees by Color
The old saying goes: “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” But when it comes to identifying trees by their colorful leaves, that’s exactly what we’re going to do with these common North American trees:
Sugar Maple. The leaves of the sugar maple can go through many color changes throughout the year. First, its leaves can be several different green hues, then they’ll go through a series of yellows and oranges before finally bursting into reds at their peak.
Black Tupelo. Interestingly, on one branch of the black tupelo, you can find several different colors of leaves in the fall — including yellow, orange, bright red, scarlet, and purple. Except in the most extreme southern and northern climates, you can find this tree through much of the U.S.
Aspen. Many will travel to the Rocky Mountains in autumn to see the unbelievable yellows of the leaves of aspen trees. Standing out sharply from their neighboring pine trees, the aspens are a northern fall tradition.
Sourwood. Found more in the southern U.S., the leaves of the sourwood tree will change from a lustrous green to eventually become red, yellow and purple. Also look for the sourwood’s white, fresh-smelling flowers throughout the rest of the year
