Very healthy looking.
What is the red bush in the background please?

9 Oct, 2008

 

I tkink its a cunninghamia. its a relative to the monkey puzzel. its green all summer but now the autumn is here its turning red as you can see.

Sorry - another question.
Does the bush lose its leaves after they go red?

9 Oct, 2008

 

no it just gets redder and redder. i like it best in autumn and spring when its changin colour. but in time it will grow into a big tree. i hope...

i love both but that red bush/tree is very intriguing.

I'm also intrigued by that tree, Sandra. I'm also on the lookout for some dark purple/brown aeoniums.

I looked up Cunninghamia lanceolata.
Timber tree of China.
Named after James Cunningham. (doctor) 1701.

Likes moist clay. aka China fir, but not a true fir.

It's an attractive tree!

Would be interesting to see a photo of your tree closer up some time if possible, please.

Thanks. :o)
