Fall Color Update: Our canyon region is slowly turning gold. 🍂
The Jujube trees are currently putting on their full fall display along Thompson`s Trail, and the Honey Locust have begun to turn. The Chinese Pistache trees have yet to turn their vibrant reds and oranges, but are slowly changing as temperatures cool.
Follow us to stay updated on fall color at Boyce Thompson Arboretum!
