Trident Summer to Winter

A slow day for me, not much going on tree wise. So I thought I would put these few together and post before the BT Engineer arrives for the 3rd day in a row to try and fix my Fibre Optic Broadband!!

Trident from full leaf to no leaf in pictures.

Korean Colour

It’s been a long wait but at last my Korean Hornbeam is just starting to turn. I’m not expecting a lot of red, just the usual yellow, but for once a little red would be nice 🙂

Tree for Club Night

I always try and take a tree along to club night showing something seasonal. Tonight I’m taking along this Maple as it starting to colour up nicely 🙂 As you can see it’s wet, hasn’t stopping raining for hours here. Hope this doesn’t put people off attending the meeting tonight 😦

Autumn to Winter

I’ve been looking forward to seeing this Root over Rock Trident sans Leaves for the first time. This was it last week with the dregs of the Autumn colour hanging on.

A quick tap and things fell apart 🙂

Today I removed the last few leaves to see the structure and then allow me to pop it into the tunnel for the Winter.

I’m very happy with the ramification and all pruning wounds are perfectly healed over.

Last time, I promise

I’m sure everyone’s sick and tired of seeing this one but the colour has changed again.

Chuhin Maple, Colour at Last

I was starting to think that this maple had forgotten about Autumn this year but a little colour has started to creep in. Another week should see it at it’s peak colour.

Week by Week Maple Colour

This little Shohin is a pleasure to watch in the Autumn.

Shohin Maple Finally Showing Colour

This is it yesterday from a few angles.

And this was it on the same date in 2010 for comparison.

I think about one more week should bring me this colour for 2011.

Larch Group Autumn Colour

This Larch group is reaching its peak. The one in the middle is usually a little later than the other two, this year it’s managed to keep up!

Ginkgo Last Hurrah

This Ginkgo is past it’s best Autumn colour after a few windy days battering the leaves. This is a final  show of colour for the year.
