Japanese Maples Fall Color
'Skeeter's Broom' is the most colorful maple in our garden. I have just returned from a 2-week trip to Japan. This was my first ever trip outside the United States. It was an amazing experience and one I will never forget. Japan was wonderful - they really have their act together and I think the U.S. could learn a few things from them. There was one disappointment on the trip - the fall color had barely begun there and was really just beginning as we left. That is okay because the gardens were still spectacular, and I got a nice shot of fall color when I got back. 'Ryusen' I missed a few things - our ginkgo had just turned a glorious color the day before I left, and the leaves were gone by the time I got back. 'Sango-Kaku' I came home to many leaves on the ground but still a lot on the trees. 'Osakazuki', a beautiful red maple always changed color very late and therefore doesn't usually last long. When I left there was no color but a few remaini
That is a big change. What a difference two weeks can make. It looks really nice.
ReplyDeletePhillip, that's just amazing! You've been a faithful waterer and the results show it - good for you, and it really looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteLooking good. Don't mow it for at least a month. Maybe longer since you are starting in the cooler season. When you do mow, mow on a high setting for the first couple of haircuts.
ReplyDeleteLooks great Phillip!!! All that hard work paid off. Thanks for sharing you pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty Phillip. I heard recently while watching a TV show about Jessica the hippo that grass contains protein. Just thought I would throw that in...
