    This is my little Acer palmatum 'Koyasan ', it is kept in partial shade for most of the day in my garden. This photo today 24th July 2020 shows the leaves looking happy after overnight rain. Autumn is not far away and I will post the colours this cultivar gives then.

    7th August 2020, rain through the night thankfully, as it's going to be the hottest day this year in the UK. I will post my maples during and after this heatwave.

    12th September 2020 and believe it or not, new growth is everywhere in my garden together with Autumn colours emerging. Temperatures of 31°C expected in a couple of days.
    One month on and my Koyasan has coped with everything that has been thrown at it. Getting ready a little for Autumn now compared to others.

    13th October 2020 and the leaves are giving such a show atm. Sadly my camera bleaches them a bit. But still very pretty.

    18th October 2020 and my Koyasan has the most wonderful combination of reds and yellows. A touch of early dew and what could be better IMO.

    28th April 2021 and my first posting of my Koyasan this year. It is showing an exceptionally good leafing out, even though we have suffered awful frosts for nearly a whole month and NO rain.

    6th May 2021 and this one can be very sensitive to the harsh frosts, so I have paid particular attention to the late night and early morning spraying with rain water. Seems to be working!!

    Aren't your trees turning to autumn colours a bit too early ? This is the case with some of mine.

    This is it's Spring colours Alain. But I understand what you mean, as the strong drying northerly winds is starting to wreak havoc on my more delicate maples.

    Hi Alain, no its just Koyasan, I have been asked this before. Momoiro Koyasan goes red in Autumn. I did buy this several years back and was assured it is a sport from momoiro. Definatly always golden in fall.
