The edge of the Schönbuch forest near Walddorf is also in its full colours:

yellow and orange autumn foliage at the edge of the Schönbuch forest

„yellow wall“ at the edge of the Schönbuch forest
Colourful edge of the Schönbuch forest along the Fuchswasenweg near Walddorf. The yellow and red tones are from lime trees (Tilia spec.) and wild cherries. Oaks, common hornbeams and goat willows are also present, but mainly still green.

Salix caprea (goat willow)
The autumn foliage of a goat willow (Salix caprea) adds the last colours to this forest in late autumn - with some similarity to spring, when the flowering willows add first fresh yellow tones to the landscape.

„yellow wall“ at the edge of the Schönbuch forest II
This part of the Schönbuch forest edge exhibits yellow colours for more than one month in autumn, firstly from lime trees (Tilia spec.) and wild cherries, then from goat willows (Salix caprea) and European aspen (Populus tremula) as on this photo.
