Cheering ourselves up with Maples

Very nice rendition of a mature tree in late Autumn.

It makes me think of an old song about a kid who wants to become a bird to make solace to a lonely tree in winter, and his Mum tells him he'd better put on a scarf and his boots if he wants to go out... ;-)

 

Some colours in my garden this afternoon to share.
They are :- Red dragon,Japanese Sunrise, Chitoseyama, Koyasan, Dr Brown, Goshiki shidare, Black Lace, Shaina, Aconitifolium, and Arakawa.

Really pleased with how this Black Lace has picked up as the year has gone on considering what it looked like when it arrived.

 

One of my favourites N. So pleased you posted it.

A nice Acer palmatum dissectum in a park, and behind it, a young Acer buergerianum. The tag reads Acer buergerianum 'Geessink' : ???

 

Couple of autumn colours this morning:

Moonrise, Koto no Ito, Sango Kaku, Beni Shigitatsu Sawa:

Finally have one of my trees exhibit autumn color...one of my Sango's! All the rest either have no change, no leaves or crispy dried up leaves.

Maggie is having a ball during her first autumn season...

 

Still a lovely maple to share though J. And wow hasn't Maggie grown.

She's still a peanut. Maggie will be ONE in a couple of weeks!!

 

NOW we're getting somewhere! Osakazuki is overrepresented this time around, but with those colours can you blame me?

All Osakazuki, all the time:



Osakazuki & Sango Kaku & Suminagashi:



Peaches & Cream, Cascade Gold, Shirazz, Purple Ghost:



Nathan, Jordan, Koto-no-Ito:

 

Good afternoon everyone. I thought I would show my 43 year old Red dissectum over a couple of days at the weekend in different lights. It still fascinates me seeing the changes from one hour to the next.
Today all the leaves have dropped after the awful winds. But I will, remember these colours all through Winter.

Just wanted to pop this one on here as it cheered me up this morning, so hope it does you. It's Elmwood.

 

Quelques photos de mon Mystic Jewel en ce moment, il prend son temps pour afficher ses couleurs automnales

 

Good morning and welcome to the maples forum. I have approved this posting and translated it here for members.
Some pictures of my Mystic Jewel at the moment, it takes its time to do this.
I have written to you via a personal message about postings in languages other than English.

Here is my regular last one to colour up in my garden, 'Autumn gold'.
A close up of one of the leaves shows the amazing bright oranges this cultivar gives every year.

lovely maple!!! but the real name is Autumn Glory ? Autumn Gold is a cultivar?

 

Yes this is the cultivar Autumn Gold.

Well it seems most of the leaves have gone for 2021, but now for the lovely architectural beauty. So I hope there will be some messages on the Winter bare bones thread.
I have attached the link for our newer members.

I'm glad you were able to get something @vbx

 

Less is more as they say A. Beautiful in the sunshine and blue sky background.

Good day! I think this Kawahara Rose is going to be my personal Christmas tree this year. What he lacks in size he makes up for in stubbornness.
With this I'd like to wish you all a Merry Christmas.

 

Very nice Lorenzo and a merry Christmas to you also.

We had a dusting this morning. Unfortunately it didn't last long.

Merry Christmas everybody!!

 

I'm also on LI, and was hoping the snow would make a good backdrop for my big Sango Kaku, but it melted before I could take pictures!
