Hi, It's typical for the Sour Gums to start in August or as early as July. I can't remember at the moment regarding other species though. I did notice yesterday that a lot of Swamp Maples are changing (that's red maple). I believe dogwoods and sassafras are changing too. It seems oaks are always the last. Barry

It is the ones in very wet areas and is more a function of the swamps drying in the late summer I would assume.
