The leaves of sumac trees are the earliest to turn red.I took this photo a few years ago in September in the Luisenpark in Mannheim, a rather large park which was the site of the Bundesgartenschau in 1975 and again in 2023, This is a biennal horticultural show which changes venues. My photo is from before 2023 in the “old” park but I don’t know how much the lake was changed for ’23.
