and Seasonal

This is more what I expected to see.

Chocolate Brown foliage on a yew. Yew can turn this colour over the Winter and then green up again in the Spring.

Flower Buds on my Fuji Cherry. Looks like I have major Spring colour to look forward to in 2012.

  1. Yews here don’t turn chocolate brown, but then most yews sold in the US are Taxus x media, hybrid of T. Baccata and T. cuspidata. The cross is supposed to combine the vigor of the baccata with the cold-hardiness of the cuspidata.

    Their foliage does turn a darker shade of green, then brightens up again in spring.

    Looking forward to spring pictures of that cherry!
