November Garden
(Revised 31 Jan 2011)
Snow can come anytime in November, but quite often, we have a week or two of fall colours to enjoy before the season ends.
Two maples that reliably showed their best colours in November:
‘Osakazuki’ is famous for its fall colour.
Acer palmatum 'Osakazuki'
‘Seiyu’ is so classy that I would like to grow a forest of this beautiful maple if possible.
Acer palmatum 'Seiryu'
Acer pal. ‘Seiyu’ ; probably the most graceful fall colour tree
The last tree to show us its fall colour in 2010 is the self-sown little Larix.
Larix kaempferi
I planted this Thuja for its winter colour. Even its November colour is great (I think).
Thuja orientalis 'Morgan'
Although some rhodos has nice fall colours, but I seemed to forget about them for pictures this time of the year.
Azalea ‘Karens’
Some years even the hamamelis can provide a nice show.
The hamamelis outside the kitchen window provided a closing ceremony
Still rushing to do last minute yard winterizing chores, then….
Snow came…..
Winter is here!
Time to go inside?
