Yesterday I took pics of the pawpaws and their fall colors.
 |
| The Shenandoah |
 |
| A closer look at the Shenandoah, since its yellow is the most intense |
 |
| The KSU-Atwood--it was yellower earlier and then the leaves started turning brown on the tree |
 |
| The Wells, still working on going all yellow |
 |
| The Susquehanna in its cage of screen and rebar. The screen and rebar help protect it against deer. Even though deer have seldom eaten any leaves from the pawpaws, once or twice they've made the mistake of taking a bite before realizing pawpaw leaves are poisonous. Still, when a tree is this small, even a deer's brief mistake can be devastating to it. But the thing a tree this size needs most protection from: human children running through the yard and not seeing it. The screen and rebar make it visible. |

| The Mango cultivar in its cage |
 |
| The fifteen seedlings |
 |
| Another view, showing the leafless stems. |
 |
| Speaking of yellow, here's a male Lesser Goldfinch getting ready to land on our nyjer seed feeder |
 |
| Here it is after it landed |
