As per request in the previous thread, here is a new one. The original has soooo many pictures that is was sllllllooooooowwwwwwww to load.
The fall color season is nearly over for me now. Allot of trees are already bare, but I may still be able to catch a bit of the late turners in town due to the heat island. We will have to see. So after this set, I will look back through my collection for some that have not yet made it that are still worthy. I know there are at least a few, but not sure just how many.
As always, hope you enjoy. I take these for my own enjoyment, but I love to share them with those that appreciate them.

Up next is more photos from the University of Arkansas Campus.
Here we have an unknown Lace Bark Elm cultivar showing EXCELLENT exfoliation. It may be "Allee" as they are fairly commonly planted in the area.

There are also a couple of Western Soapberry on the campus. Interesting tree, tough, and not that large. These were not yet at peak, but they are probable well passed now, so this will probable be as good as it gets for these.

Here we have a nice Pin Oak.
{{gwi:485562}}
On campus there are some very nice old trees like this White Oak.

And of course where you have White Oaks, you have tree rats.... I mean squirrels. :-)
{{gwi:485567}}
There are some nice Tulip Trees as well. This is just a youngster, but was developing excellent yellow.

There are also a good number of Ginkgo's around campus, some with trunks as much as 12"+ caliper. Alas most are were not turning, or had lost a great many leaves for various reason. Ahhh, but I said "most". These have not been there more than about 8-10 years or so, as that is when this building was renovated to what you see now. Still they are 30+ feet, and were at peak color.

Next up is the largest Sugar Maple I think I have ever seen. The trunk was very close to 4' in diameter.

Then another nice large Sugar Maple.

Lastly from the UA, is a Red Maple that was simply gorgeous. I walked around the corner, stopped and said "WOW!!!!!'. There were two guys behind me walking along and not paying attention until they rounded the corner, they stopped and did the exact same thing. Don't know if this one is seed grown, or a cultivar, but it is one of the best red maples I've ever seen.
This is how I saw it first.

These last trees from the UA, I do not know what they are. I thought they might be Hophornbeam, but the leaves don't look right to me. Anybody know?
Looking down a nice row of them.

Now w move on from the UA campus to various other trees in the area.

Next is Autumn Fantasy Maple. These are normally much more a darker brick red color, as opposed to Autumn Blazes bright red. However this one this year, was more like the Autumn Blaze, though some leaves were still fairly dark and more like what you normally see for the whole tree.

Next is our 'Fire Dragon' Shuntung Maple. It was not quiet at peak color, then the 22 degrees yesterday morning basically finished it for the year.

{{gwi:485586}}

'Fire Dragon' has very corky bark.
{{gwi:485588}}
Next up are some 'October Glory' Red Maples planting in some parking lot landscape islands. These have been developing color slowly for WEEKS. Got them while they were good.

{{gwi:485591}}
Lastly for today, a VERY nice 'Red Sunset' Red Maple.
