Autumn colours

Acer griseum (paperbark maple),

October 21st:



Acer shirasawanum 'Autumn Moon' seedling, probably NTTTTMT (probably not totally true to the mother tree ^^) but outstanding luminous colours not rendered in a photo. Very vibrant reds and oranges:

Zelkova serrata: one that has suffered from either a virus, or an unbalaznced fertlization, or something else. It leafs out very late (at least two weeks after the other ones from the same stock, either as seedlings, cuttings or from the intitial batch of 12 I bought 20 years ago). It also develops very slowly, with the first buds with very short internodes (a few millimeters)

June 10th:

Another "freak", that was repotted in late spring; it has probably helped it keep some green:

Acer palmatum 'Ryusen' (a cheap buy from England, £19.95 in 2015). It was maintained upright with a stake, next year I'll try to air-layer the top, straight part:

Others, not worth showing, have lost almost all their leaves, with very colours tough. This one, kept in dappled shade, has been changing colours for a bout 10 days, but it's not finished yet I think:



That other one was kept in the shade for I changed its position when it was in full leaf (May 11th).

In May:

Japanese Larch....interesting that they change colour as individuals...... all from the same seed source, same age and under the same growing conditions

 

[AlainK]

Very nice trees "ghues".

Repotted in a different pattern, they will make a very nice forest...

[j evans]

Only tree that I have that has any color this year.

Thanks Julian! The "relaxing" part is marginal. It takes a lot of work to make it look "peaceful" and every year it becomes that much harder. Need some help just about now!

Haha if I lived in your area I wouldn't mind "volunteering".

Couple of recent pictures from autumn garden.

Carpinus betulus forest

Acer palmatum

Prunus spinosa

 

[AlainK]

The Prunus spinosa is really great with all the fruits.

 

[ghues]

Same forest as post 69 above (last Saturday) glad I could enjoy them today as the first winter storm (mis of rain and snow) will surely knock all the needles off in the coming days. Very young in it’s development....three different angles.

Hornbeam almost there. Should get brighter yet.
