Howdy,
I was visiting my mum and step-dad yesterday. I took a photo of his Trident Maple forest.
It’ll soon change colour but I thought I’d post a photo to have a record of the forest on this forum.
Have a good week.
Cheers,
Mark

Re: Dad’s Trident Maple Forest
Forests are contagious in your family!
Looking good, mine is also yet to change colour but the weather has definitely come off the boil so hopefully that will prompt a bit of autumn out soon enough.

Re: Dad’s Trident Maple Forest
You really are starting to force my hand into the forests Mark! I'm sure this will be sensational as the colour begins to come through.
Seeing your JM forest was great inspiration for me, and now this beauty here as well. The only difficulty i'm having is locating enough stock plants to make a start on it!

Compliments to your Dad. Nicely done forest, very healthy, will no doubt look great when it colours. Maybe we could get another photo then?

Re: Dad’s Trident Maple Forest
Thanks Lisa and Tim. I’ll pass on your thoughts to dad and I will definitely post an updated photo when the colours change.
