Mountain Ash, a beautiful member of the rose family. I'm not playing with Photoshop here. Stop by and look for yourself. This great variety of color, both on the tree and on the ground, is the product of one great tree on the east side of the courthouse in Quincy. This species of tree often gets pummeled by wind and snow at higher elevations, and can be battered apart before it gets more than 10 or 15 feet tall. However, this specimen in the relatively protected environment downtown is probably 30 feet tall and looks quite healthy. I love following it throughout the seasons.
