Fall Colors.....or Not


This colorful tree sitting next to the equally colorful Saguaro Hotel in Scottsdale looks like it's bursting with fall color.


But on closer inspection what looks like red leaves turns out to be red berries.  I think this might be a Brazilian Pepper Tree.

    I would say you're 100% correct Sharon. Have just been reading that in some countries it's considered an invasive species but at the same time bees love it, so that can't be a bad thing :)

    When those of us who live in the south see color on a tree in the fall, we must never question our eyes...enjoy! :) It's stunning!

    I remember one year searching for autumn leaves in Phoenix. There were very few! I'll bet birds have a heyday with these berries!

    The building seems to have a hot pepper theme to go with it.

    That tree really looks great with the hotel. Brazilian pepper is an invasive species in many places, but maybe in the Southwest, where there's not a lot of water, it can't spread without irrigation...?
