Yes I know it's a bit early and the weather is turning hot... but I have maples changing colour fast in my garden, so I thought let's get this thread going. I'm hoping for a blaze of reds , oranges and yellows this year. A young Aratama Aconitifolium x 2 Vic pink x 2 Twombley's Red Sentinel (still struggling to go upright after the damage last year) Ginala flame Black lace Brocade x2 Ornatum A couple of pics of part of my garden
5th September,and after a hot night, then morning dew, my rufinerve's Autumn colours are doing quite nicely.
Many of my trees (they're potted) are showing signs of stress because of the successive heat waves and drought we've had this summer. Last Saturday (it was already 30°C) I went to the Ilex arboretum of Meung-sur-Loire - I had my mosquito repellent with me, thank god! Here are a few photos of Acers that are left to grow naturally among the near-hundred of box-trees varieties: The first time I've seen a crataegifolius. From a distance, I thought it was a buergerianum :
A few more in todays 31° heat, but Autumn colours are contimuing here in southern England. With a few spring leaves as well. They are getting quite confused !!! Orangeola Summer gold Trident Red Wine
one noteworthy tree regarding tolerance and early fall colouring. This sangu kaku continues to amaze us, especially the abuse it has taken with the heat / smoke and wind the past few months. I took the pic first thing this morning
