More Fall Colors

Acer palmatum 'Osakazuki' usually turns color at the last minute. This year was no exception.


The autumn colors are really spectacular right now although recent high winds are doing their best to blow it all away.

Ginkgo 'Princeton Sentry'


Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum)

 

 

Birch (Betula platyphylla 'Dakota Pinnacle')

Acer palmatum 'Geisha Gone Wild'

Acer japonicum Aconitifolium 'Dancing Peacock'

 

Sycoparrotia

Sumac 'Tiger Eyes'

Black Tupelo (Nyssa sylvatica) is another one to change color at the last minute. I love this tree.

Gorgeous! My Ginkgo looks sad by comparison.
Spectacular colors! The sourwood, black tupelo and sumac are beautiful!

Sourwood makes an un matched display with leaf and berry mix. Stunning.

Hi Phillip! Love that sumac. Do you keep it in a container or the ground? How likely is it to really run sideways?
Beautiful pictures, as always.

Jules, both. The original one is in the ground. Since then, two have been potted up from runners. It does do that but I would not say vigorously. Just a few every year. Of course you have to keep an eye on it.

Oh I would surely swoon to see your gorgeous garden in the fall! So many colors, it makes me giddy just to see photos.
