    Same here -- taking showers with buckets to catch the excess water for maple-watering purposes is certainly a new experience (the things we do for our trees!) As you say, the main thing is for our trees to make it safely to next Spring rather than hoping for any special shows this Autumn, right?

    Looks like we are all doing the same Xi. But I do wish these water companies would fix all the leaks...

    27th April 2023 and the best time of year for Ukigumo, before the Summer heat.
    Just leafing out today.

    23rd June 2023 and my Ukigumo is fully leafed out. Took a while this year, but worth the wait.

    Always glad to see this tree show it's coveted goma fu variegation even in my southeastern U.S. location. Check that crazy looking leaf in the second picture.

    It’s about normal timing, D. The last few nights have been very cold and maybe that slowed things down, but not by much.

    24th May 2024 and my Ukigumo in front of my Bloodgood, quite a nice contrast IMO.

    Your specimen has great color D. Mine has much more green than yours as expected in the southeast U.S.

    Thanks @GardenCycles I do give it a lot of afternoon shade to keep it protected. It must be difficult where you live with the heat in Summer.
