The U of IL has a test plot of A. truncatum that I like to go down to and snoop around and fall color is variable. I'm not sure what they are testing but the trees are getting all grown together and crowded. I suppose one day I'll show up and they'll all be gone. One tree there in particular has a nice bright yellow fall color that is about a week earlier to hit peak color than the others. Early dormancy is a good thing out West from what I understand. Less snowload or something.
