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.

Here we go again. Its autumn and the trees are starting to color up.

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.

We photographed the tree yesterday
As at 10th May 2011.JPG
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.

I hadnt seen this thread until now, its so nice watching it progress.

Only one problem now... S.M.E
Severe Maple Envy

No way I will ever get colour like that up here so I hope you guys will share some more of other trees as they also go thru the drop.

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