I like Sweet gum but they don't generally grow up where I live. I expect maybe it's just a bit cold for them. The area where I live is on the northern edge for many tree species, especially the less hardy nut trees. Interesting thing about the walnut and butternut trees. As you'll know, the leaves grow on fronds (I guess you would call them that). In autumn, when we get a killing frost, the whole tree will drop every frond in a matter of hours. i've watched them falling off and a few at the top will drop and hit the ones below and the whole works just starts falling off like a domino effect. Next thing you know, there's not a leaf left on the tree.

An autumn colour grove would be a nice thing out there. I was out that way during autumn one year and other than the Sweet gum trees, it didn't really feel much the way autumn does here -- it was nice in its own way, but i did miss seeing the fiery range of colours of the maples and oaks of this region.
