Some of my worries have been answered in the past few days...Thanks.
Some of my maples are with green leaves...some have leaves with dry tips, some have autumn color...and some lost their leaves...Really scary time of the year for me...
Reading all this I am not so worried that I killed something.
My ginkgo it just budding...So not sure how that will affect it, but we have no frost here.
Bodhi,
do you keep those tree the whole year round under the net? Mine are also under light shade net...so not too sure if I am OK to do that...

Hi Josh pretty sure it is a chinese rain tree.

Hi Nelli, yes i do and they do not mind it at all. It is my little experiment and have some in full sun and some under shade. The ones under shade have colour but not as intense as the full sun ones. But the full sun ones have burnt edges

I am starting to understand that you cannot have it all.

Thanks Bodhi,
I am also still shifting trees around and trying to figure out which varieties do better where. But my junipers seem to like the light mid day shade.

Thanks Bodhi. A magical scene and a fabulous setup. That would be so beautiful to look out on each morning with a cuppa. Thanks for posting.

Hi Bodhi,
Those colours are looking very rich. Glad you have taken some photos. Great record to keep.

Thanks for sharing Bodhi! Is nice to see that kind of colour

I'm still wondering what this autumn is that you're all talking about?

The cold is only just starting to set in over here and don't really have anything showing colour yet, my little boab tree is still in full leaf
