All other tips are also appreciated!! Sherry There is a maple tree in the center of the Japanese garden at UBC that will turn red at 2:37 PM this coming Wednesday. Try to be there on time. The elaves fall off 5 minutes later. |

Vancouver is not the place to go to see maples in their fall colours. The best places for that are central Ontario, southern Quebec and the New England States. This is usually the time for Ontario and Quebec, though things seem to be a slightly delayed this year. |

This is usually the time for Ontario and Quebec, though things seem to be a slightly delayed this year. While I agree with the above, we do have a lot of maples here in the Puget Sound area, though they are mostly planted varieties. The two natives are vine maple (showing color now) and bigleaf maple (starting to turn.) But the Arboretum in Seattle has spectacular fall color, generally late in October, and I would assume Queen Elizabeth Park and Stanley Park in Vancouver would be the same. Someone from BC could answer more specifically though. |

to see maple turn red in Vancouver
Thanks a lot for the tips. That sounds very good to me already since I grew up in tropical area and have never been to the north. We are going to Seattle/Vancouver anyway this year, and I guess we better start packing now. I hope I could see maple in Ontario and Quebec someday too. Thank you all very much for the help. -- Posted via http://britishexpats.com |

For future reference Sherry, The west coast mountains are forested mainly with softwoods. Evergreens, obviously, stay green. Aspens and poplar turn yellow, and you will see patches of them in the mountains. It is the hardwood trees where you see the displays of colours, especially the maples, which vary. They may turn yellow, red or orange. While hardwood forests range further south, the change is slower. Here in the Niagara area, the colour change is gradual, but further north the change is compressed into a shorter period, so it is much more dramatic when it happens, which is usually late September. |
