wow, that's impressive, love the colours - is that seasonal?

Most of the color there is from the berries, it was beginning to show some fall color but I don't think it had really peaked yet. It is a very pretty tree in the fall and the berries usually last well into winter or as long as the birds leave them. It flowers in spring and the bark is pretty on young trees too. I have one of these but it is only about 4 feet tall so I haven't seen it flower yet but it always looks nice in fall.

all that colour from berries!! wow, the birds must have a feast, with all that on offer.

I'll have to look this tree up, to see it in all stages of growth at all seasons.

Would be interested to see yours, as you say the bark is pretty on young trees and yours sounds young
