Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum) Leaf
The autumn color of the leaves of most trees is predictable:
Green Ashes, Willows, Birches, Cottonwoods and Norway Maples turn yellow.
Sumacs, Red Maples, Dogwoods and Black Gums turn bright red.
Red and Black Oaks turn a rusty burgundy.
And Sugar Maples turn an astonishingly vivid shade of red-orange.
