A majority of the upper Midwest is reporting some degree of foliage color change. Most of that change is very low throughout most of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Eastern sections of Michigan and Ohio are yet to experience any change.

Leaf drop is very low to non-existent in much of the region as is expected so early into the foliage season.

This information was provided by Marek D. Rzonca, The Foliage Network. The next report will be released Saturday, September 15, 2001.
