where there is smoke there is fire...not always...

The smoke tree is a rounded, somewhat bush-looking tree with leaves that are any where from a green to a purple color during summer months. In the fall months, the leaves will turn a yellow to a reddish color. During both seasons you will see soft fluffy plumes that stick out of the smoke tree giving it a softer look.

These plumes often show a different color than the leaves on the plant. The plumes waft heavenward showing pink, purple, light tan or even a light shade of red. This gives the plants a soft ethereal look as they peak out from between the leaves. 

 WHERE THERE IS SMOKE THERE IS FIRE

- It may just be a rumor, but where there's smoke, there's fire.

- As the old saying goes, where there's smoke, there's fire. 

- I hope they're unfounded, but like all good rumours, where there's smoke, there's fire.

- When there's smoke, there's fire. And when there's you, there's desire.
