Most of the ones here are that beautiful orangey red, and I get lots of calls and emails about them too. We have similar beautiful fall color here too. If I could suggest any tree (shade here) it would be the Coral bark Japanese maple. Oh, my gosh, what a wonderful, beautiful tree! I also love 'Full Moon' and is it 'August Moon'? They have three season color, but with it's splendid bark, the coral bark has four. Thanks for showing us your fall color.

The japanese maples all seem to be WAY behind schedule and are still bright and colorful as if it were spring. I did notice the red twig dogwoods starting to lose their leaves and exposing their bright red twigs though- I might actually have enough this year to make a decent wreath.

What a great post. Of course, we should also remember that the two native maples are right now displaying beautiful fall color. I went on a hike yesterday, and the bright yellow was spectacular against the evergreen oaks or bay trees. Wish I'd brought my camera... Beautiful! What a great post.

If you're looking for public spaces, there's a really nice natural park in Santa Cruz, called Castle Rock Park which I've heard has lots of Fall color. You might also try the Gamble Gardens, located in Palo Alto (they always have something that's beautiful, no matter the time of year)....then you could walk the streets of downtown P.A. where there are many photo opportunities - the trees there are huge and gorgeous, with lots of great shots. Also, call Hidden Villa in Los Altos to ask about their Fall Color....your daughter would LOVE it there, but I'm not sure about the color as I haven't been there in a long time. It's a great, great place to check out....I hope that helps! Hi Adelina – These photos were taken in my neighborhood and/or in some of my clients’ gardens.

Thanks! Now maybe we've risen to #15 on the list of States with great color?? Or is that wishful thinking.....I'll keep trying...

You're right, California doesn't come to mind when I think of fall color, but darn if those pics aren't impressive. Thanks for sharing them.
