Re: First autumn colour
I love this Group! It comes very close to my favourite tree at the collection.
It will be great to have a progression of the Autumn colour to leaf fall.
Great work.

Re: First autumn colour
Here we go again. Its autumn and the trees are starting to color up.
Grant
The group is looking a bit fuller and rounded this year. It will get a semi hard cut back this year and a repot in late August.Grant

Re: First autumn colour
Hi Grant, the change in colour of decidous trees is why I like them so much. Good looking forest.

Re: First autumn colour
It is very cold and windy here today. There are very small snowflakes flying around in the wind as I type this! One of our locals had snow at his place this morning. Brrr ! 
Cheers,
Leigh.

Re: First autumn colour
I hadnt seen this thread until now, its so nice watching it progress.
Only one problem now... S.M.E
Severe Maple Envy
No way I will ever get colour like that up here so I hope you guys will share some more of other trees as they also go thru the drop.

Hi all,

Re: First autumn colour
awesome progression guys
thank you...
any secret to getting such vivid colours, is down to a particular feeding regime?
