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.

Scott

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.

In a word; Yes.

Not all leaves color and fall at the same time,

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

But this morning it looked even better so we will do another shot today.

We are doing it in 360 as well.

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 ! :cool:

Cheers,
Leigh.

awesome progression guys :clap: :tu: thank you...
any secret to getting such vivid colours, is down to a particular feeding regime?
