Acer Through the window

Hi Brian ... that's so pretty. How old is the tree ?

Well worth hanging out the window, its a lovely photo, they look good together and so welcome a sight on days like this....

Looks great - and wet!!

Great colour Brian.....something to cheer you up!!

Beautiful trees!

Beautiful. But Brian, I think those trees enjoy the rain. And you enjoy them. Chin up!

Terra It was planted in the 80s same time as others there, about 25+ years ago have lost count now.
Katarina I enjoy all trees.

This tree is a really special one Brian. I wish I had chosen this one when I planted two similar acers in my garden - drummondii and a red version (cant remember name now) The red one was chopped down a couple of years ago, it was much too big for the garden and casting too much shade. The other tree is lovely, it has a white variegation on the leaves and always seems to light up the garden when it first comes into leaf. I do like it, but if anyone is planning on planting a new tree I would definately recommend Brilliantissima - its gorgeous.

Beautiful acers Brian - our acers are not so well established and suffered quite badly in the dry weather last summer - but they made it through to this Spring and I am sure they are welcoming the deluge

Poppy i think I am in the minority but for me the season where it has appealing foliage is far to short,as i said before i love it for about to weeks then you may as well have a Sycamore tree.if i had to have just one I would have your Variegated one I like them a lot.

soo cool !having this place is very invitable!

Oh that surprises me Brian- all the books always wax lyrical about brilliantisima. I think I prefer it because of the size and that lovely shrimp pink foliage when it first comes into leaf. What they dont mention is about it being boring during the rest of the year...lol

You're right Brian, but when it's good it's very very good:-)
