crimson foliage

Autumn's scarlet canopy

Crimson foliage is leaves that have turned a deep red color, typically in autumn when deciduous trees undergo seasonal change: The crimson foliage of the maples lined the mountain road.

The phrase evokes peak fall scenery, often associated with New England and other temperate regions known for dramatic autumn displays.
