| Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum) |
The first of fall color at the Battleground place. Sourwood
(Oxydendrum arboreum). This may be partly the effect of being a new planting. But sourwood trees are known for red fall color. It's the reddest tree so far. Probably the reddest of my fall trees.
Others here that that may have good fall color - the ginkgo trees (brilliant yellow) Blueberry plants (red), and persimmons (expecting red or yellow). I don't know about the others.

| Buffalo Grape |
This is the only grape vine that I've seen with such brilliant color. This is "Buffalo", a blue Concord-like seeded grape. It grew faster than any of my new varieties. I think I bought this one at Fred Meyer this Spring. I doubt there will be grapes next year, but it's now big enough, next Spring/Summer I can train the cordons for grapes the following year.
The newest leaves are not colorful. At least not yet. I'm hoping the colorful leaves will be typical next fall, and not the green leaves.
Still in a deer and rabbit cage. More screening to install this fall ' winter.
