| | | | Illinois: Illinois Tree Foliage The Illinois state tree is the White Oak.
In the fall, its leaves turn red or purple., and compete with the red, purple, orange, yellow, brown and bronze shades of
more than 250 tree species in the state.
The University of Illinois Extension compilation of
foliage trees is a
must-read before hitting the woods.
While you admire the stately trees, beware of the sneaky fall poison ivy.
In the fall it turns to a beautiful bright red color and still can give you a nasty rash.
