Description
Pennsylvania has a longer and more varied fall foliage season than any other state in the nation -- or anywhere in the world.
Only three regions of the world support deciduous forests that display fall autumn color:
Eastern North America
The British Isles and parts of northwestern Europe
Northeastern China and northern Japan
Forests in other regions are either tropical or dominated by conifers.
Pennsylvania’s location between 40° and 42° North latitude and its varied topography from sea level on the coastal plain to over 3,000 feet in the Laurel Highlands supports 134 species of trees and many more shrubs and vines that contribute to the display of autumn color.
Pennsylvania is the meeting ground of northern trees that flourish only on mountain tops farther south and southern species that are at the northern limits of their range.
