When fall leaves will peak in Memphis and the Mid-South

Fall began over a month ago in late September, but in Memphis and most of the Mid-South, many trees still show more green than the iconic reds, yellows and oranges associated with fall. Tennessee has a wide variety of climate patterns. With mountains in the east and the river delta in the west, leaf-color timing varies across the state, and Memphis is usually among the last places to see fall in all its colorful glory.
