California Wild Grape, Vitis californica, LA County Arboretum (12/14/18) Frank McDonough
If you plan to shop for fall color, there are just four shopping days left, until the winter solstice.
One of the few places to find that last-minute gift of fall color is Los Angeles County, where a few trees are still carrying autumn leaves.
LA County Arboretum color spotter Frank McDonough sends these gifts of the season, complete with a bad pun.
In fairness, Frank asked the question and we put a bow onto it by providing an answer. Happy holidays.
