Here is my bonsai area. The crepes have all turned but the trident maple hasn’t really started yet.

Lovely hawthorn, nice star work as well. I'm assuming you placed them all carefully, to appear random?

Matthew, is it a specific kind of Chinese elm that gets those colours? I've seen one like that here in Adelaide but I can't seem to work out why just this one does and the others don't.....?

It’s been a poor year for my Chinese elms colour wise, they have had a flash of red or orange in them before but mostly yellow. My tridents on the other hand are going a deep burgundy colour

One of my azaleas with autumn colours, my only azalea that changes, can't wait for spring time again for this one

Both trees came from the same parent plant airlayered over a decade ago. They both display this characterisric. Mojo might remember they originally came from him.
