Thanks all. Karen, had to have the Malus after seeing yours, maybe you can tell Stera how big it grows, I've only had mine a few months.
I have Malus red sentinel too, fruit are redder.

Can't beat a garden in autumn, springtime is exciting but the changing colours as plants, shrubs and trees have their last fling can be very striking, its as though they have spent all summer getting dressed up for the last dance of the year, lol........

I agree Lin, perfectly put, yeah I always loved spring best but autumn is my favourite time now

You must have lots to do in your lovely large garden. This time of the year is really lovely, unless too windy. It is really making the trees sing today with the tail end of Brian. Dries the washing nicely too. Not too many leaves willing to let go yet, apart from next doors Magnolia. Leaf blower/shredder for my birthday, so ready for action this year.

Yes Dorjac, too much to do although this time of year isn't too bad. Yes, windy here too but like you, lots of green foliage left on most trees. Enjoy your leaf blower.
