I LOVE NY started the “New York Fall Foliage Report” on September 11 and will continue until the end of the foliage season, around the first or second week in November. Fulton County has its own “foliage spotters” to participate in this annual report.
Reporting station: Caroga Lake
Percent of trees predicted to have changed by the coming weekend: 95%
Brilliance: Very Bright
Predominating colors: A lot less green, lots of yellow, brown, orange, and some red
Rating: Peak
A lot of color appeared over the past week; Fulton County has reached peak color in its leaves. The weather has taken down a lot of leaves that changed early. But there is still a lot of color to see and some green left that is slowly changing. More bright yellows and oranges have appeared with pops of vibrant reds.
