Kentucky Color - Sassafras Glory on 704 'Sassafras, Sumac, Dogwood, Black Gum, and Sourwood and a few Red Maples are beautifully silhouetted amongst the greens of late turning species this time of year' -BILLY JOE FUDGE Click on headline for story plus photo(s) By Billy Joe Fudge, Retired District Forester Kentucky Division of Forestry Right now is the best time of year for enjoying the color of edge trees. Edge trees are the species which usually need sunlight to germinate, so they grow along the edge of established woodlands, fence rows, roadsides, etc. Edge trees are referred to as pioneer species and are the second stage of forest expansion and forest establishment. The first stage is weeds. Once man ceases to mow and manicure, weeds which are the first stage will appear first and the pioneer species soon follow. Sassafras, Sumac, Dogwood, Black Gum, and Sourwood and a few Red Maples are beautifully silhouetted amongst the greens of late turning species this time of year. All the trees accompanying this article were photographed on KY 704 but any direction on any road will immerse you in an ever changing kaleidoscope. I highly recommend a drive on the Cumberland Parkway. Anytime is great although early morning and late afternoon are best. The hues of color change with the time of day, with sunshine or cloudy conditions, with the weather, and of course as the season progresses. - BILLY JOE FUDGE This story was posted on 2011-10-13 08:01:14
