A riot of color, that is! Sweetgum trees here in Oregon’s Willamette Valley are so colorful every autumn. Our fall season lasts a long time. It's one of my favorite things about living here. Lots of people don't like sweetgum trees because of the spiky seed balls that they drop, but I think they are a fine trade for all that color!
