When does your autumn foliage peak?
For the mid south I'm gonna say late September or early October.
For north Texas it's probably mid October, even into early November.
What about your neck of the woods?

You mean when do the`leaves turn brown and die? That's about all that happens here.
November, maybe.
I will definitely appreciate the scenery once I move east.  |

I think that's more accurate for DFW too, Dave. I know there have been Novembers when N. Texas still had some color and from OKlahoma north the tree limbs are mostly bare. I used to drive a truck from south to north and back, but it's been a few years now.
Of course, the distance north or south has an influence. I wonder if altitude also makes a difference?

The colors here are absolutely beautiful in the woods that line the highway. Unfortunately for me the leaves do not fall off my own trees until the city is done collecting leaves leaving me with a huge mess every year....figures.

It's been trending later every year since we moved back to the Midwest. When I was young, we'd see leaves starting to turn by late August, and the colors would reach their peak in late September, but now they start changing in mid-September and it's usually early October before we get the most vivid and intense colors.
We had very little rain during summer 2009, and the fall colors last year were very muted and dull in consequence. After all the rains we've had this year, I'm hopeful that we'll get some spectacular leaf color this fall.

Central Florida really isn't known for it's great autumn foliage display. There are a few trees that actually have a seasonal change, but most are either pretty much green all year or all the leaves are dead due to a frost.
