The internet has been abuzz with reports of an unexpected December display of peak fall color in north and central Texas.
The Texas A&M Forest Service had predicted fall colors to be muted this year, due to drought. Though, a wet August is said to have given new vibrance to Texas’ show.
Photographs on the Web show dark red, carnelian, orange and gold trees. Many species are contributing to the display, including such Texas natives as American smoketree, bigtooth maple, Graves oak, Huisache, Possumhaw, Prairie sumac, Texas redbud, Texas red oak and white ash.
