Hello I´m interested in trees, speacilly deciduos trees growing in unsual places, and would lke to know if there are any Autumn/Fall trees in South Florida, trees that have a Fall coluor in Autumn or Winter and what kind of trees.
If I ever travel to USA, I would like to visit places with lots of trees.
thanks,
Adam.

Well the countryside in most of the country (except the desert) has lots of trees.

However the fall colors are in the north - where you have 4 distinct seasons - since what triggers the brilliant colors is the hard frosts - which you almost never get in the deep south. Although some of the trees are the same in the south, many are different and in a semi-tropical climate like FL you don;t get colors changing as they do in the north.

To see the best of the colors head for New England in October. If you want to do farther south head for the mountains - as in the skyline drive in Va - around the same time.

In general, trees in the tropics lose their leaves just like trees in colder climates, but they lose them continuously -- palm trees and live oaks are good examples -- so they are not usually bare nor are they colorful.

You'll have to go further north in Florida to see any fall coloring. If you continue on north into Georgia, the mountains have gorgeous leaf seasons.

Here's a leaf watch map of Georgia parks and now (when most of the leaf season is over) the parks in middle Georgia still have some good color -

PROVIDENCE CANYON STATE PARK -- Nov. 1, 2010 -- The front yard of Providence Methodist Church is currently the most colorful area seen while driving through the park. The bright red leaves on the Sassafras trees blend in with the green ones, and the vibrant yellow leaves on the pecan trees add light to the area. Each week the maroon leaves on the Dogwood trees become more intense. In the floor of the canyons, the Sweet Gums display a mixture of red and yellow, and the Sourwood trees are still their dark maroon. While the temperatures are dropping, this is a great time to come visit Georgia’s Little Grand Canyon. Even though Mother Nature is not showing bright colors in the trees yet, the vibrant 43 different colors of soils on the canyon walls are always awesome to view.

F. D. ROOSEVELT STATE PARK -- Nov. 3, 2010 -- The leaves on the park have now turned to mostly orange and brown. We still have mostly green leaves, but the colors as you drive on Hwy 190 are very beautiful. The much needed rain has made the leaves look brighter and helps enhance the colors. Hiking on the Pine Mountain Trail lets the hikers see the different colors that nature has given us to enjoy. Even with the green leaves showing, it gives the visitor the impression that as beautiful as the leaves are now, there will soon be even more color.

PANOLA MOUNTAIN STATE PARK -- Nov. 9, 2010 -- Panola Mountain is showing its true colors. The Hickories are looking particularly dramatic with the brilliant yellow leaves and Maples are show everywhere you go. The cool days are a great time to explore our multi-path trail that meanders through meadows and wetlands.

Whereas in the mountains, most of the leaves have fallen -
MOCCASIN CREEK STATE PARK -- Nov. 8, 2010 -- Most of the fall color is on the forest floor, but there are still isolated pockets of trees clinging to their color. This is an excellent time to view the last of the colors of the season and scan the topography of the mountains. Many waterfalls and rock formations can be seen that would normally be hidden by the leaves. Hikes along the Hemlock Falls trail can seem totally different in the winter than it does when the leaves are still hanging.

You've got to move out of the tropical climate to see fall foliage.

The poinsettias are pretty spectacular in winter - they can grow to the size of small trees in Florida.
