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.

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.

thank you...
any secret to getting such vivid colours, is down to a particular feeding regime?
