Foliage, this is the richness
of Autum when the
American beech turns a
golden bronze, while the elm
and the sycamore, along
with the black willow, river
and sweet birches, and the
tuliptrec, are transformed
into a wide variety of
yellowish hues.
Tinted with red are the
oaks, dogwood and red
maples; the sassafras turns
a brilliant orange to scarlet,
and the lowly sumac is
cloaked with red to lavender.
Deep purple indicates a
distant stand of white ash.
The white oaks, unlike other
oak species, may turn purple
or violet; while the per
simmon turns gold, the white
pine a blueish green, and the
hemlock retains its deep rich
green.
This panorama of color
spreads gradually
throughout the Com
monwealth with the richness

The first evidence of
widespread tree coloration
can usually be sighted in the
northern tier countries
between Oct. 1 and Oct. 14.
This area is comprised of a
section of Wayne County and
all of Susquehanna, Brad
ford, Tioga, Potter and
McKean Counties.
As the sun moves south
ward, so does the season of
coloration in nature’s cycle
and foliage is most beautiful
in the central zone, which
extends from one end of the
Commonwealth to the other,
between Oct. 12 and Oct. 26.
In the triangular southern
zone, marked by an
imaginery line extending
from the southern part of
Monroe County to the south
western corner of Somerset
County and the Mason-Dixon
line, the magnificent
coloration generally occurs
between Oct. 19 and Oct. 31.
