• Oaks – Both red and white families of the Oak tree can easily be spotted along the mountain brows over Chattanooga and can be identified as it is the only tree with acorns. Oak trees tend to be the last to change colors as temperatures drop and weigh in with deeper shades of russet, red, and yellow-brown.
• Ashes – One of the most common trees in Chattanooga’s mountains is the Ash tree. Ash trees grow up to 90ft and feature a distinct limb arrangement making them easier to differentiate. At peak foliage, this tree provides a range of yellows, purples, and maroon fall colors.
