Late Harvest

Liquidambar, Hwy 116, Sonoma County (12/5/20) David Laurence Sharp

How sweet it is. The late harvest of fall color along the North Coast, that is.

David Laurence Sharp notes that just like a sweet Sauterne that is the last to be harvested, a boulevard of liquidambar (half way between Sebastopol and Graton along Hwy 116 in Sonoma County) takes “a long time … to change color completely. So, I wait and wait and wait. This year some of the trees had already lost some of their leaves.”
