Asian and North American

My Asian and American species of Sumac are growing in close proximity of each other. The American species, Smooth and Staghorn, have excellent, reddish fall color.   The Chinese Sumac is a greenish-yellow.

Filazel Bush

My Filazels are continuing to get larger, as some are starting to bear nuts now. The bushes can color up some during the autumn.

Ornamental Grass Fall

Even some of the Ornamental Grasses can have fall color. Running Miscanthus always has a lot to offer in fall, with the foliage turning color and the many white plumes.

Final Pepper Harvest

With colder weather coming, I harvested the remaining Hot and Sweet Peppers. Most of the Peppers are Jalapeno and Bell Peppers.  A lot of the Jalapeno will be dried, while the Bell Peppers will be processed and put in the freezer.

Fire Cherry

By fall, the Pin Cherry looks like it is on fire. This small cherry has already flowered, but still doesn’t yield any fruit for wildlife.

English Walnut Fading

This English Walnut is getting closer to losing its leaves for winter. None of my English Walnuts have had nuts yet, hopefully they still do this decade, as they never did the last decade.

Sumac Pine

While the Smooth Sumac are changing their leaf color, the Pitlolly Pines remain green. Both of these plants are fast growing, but the Pitch x Loblolly Hybrid Pines go vertical, while the Smooth Sumac go horizontal.

Narrowleaf Ash

Narrowleaf Ash is an exotic species of Ash. This species looks different than the native species of Ash, as the leaflets are more narrow.

Ussuri Plum Coloring Up

Ussuri Plums can have good fall color. Too bad most of them are dying out.

Green Ash

Green Ashes aren’t known for their fall color, but they can have a good yellow fall color. These trees are threatened by Emerald Ash Borer that is making its way across Iowa.
