    Think I'll start a Summer colours thread after seeing your Sister Ghost Xi. You are having a very good maple year indeed.

    What a good idea, D! The conditions have been pretty good for the trees so far this year, haven't they - let's hope that continues during the most difficult summer months ahead!

    12th June 2022 and my Sister Ghost in a lot of shade. This is the best position for this one to protect it in the Summer.

    5th November 2022 and as it's been such a mild Autumn so far, my Sister Ghost thinks it's Spring already.

    This is probably my favorite of the ghost series. The light green really stands out in a shady spot.

    I really love that leaf color. Is that your Skeeters Broom next to it? Great contrast.
