We
have had some rain and at the beginning of this month the temperatures
were surprisingly mild. After the 10th temperatures
have dropped and it is now more Autumnal with much colder temperatures. |

Armillaria? |
Some
really fine Autumn colours are developing this year, the only
real disappointment being the Acer shirasawanum 'Areum'
whose leaves just crinkled and dropped. The yellows of the Acer
cappadocicum 'Aureum' and the reliable reds of Acer
japonicum 'Aconitifolium' have
been spectacular. Corylopsis pauciflora has excelled itself this
year with its vibrant yellow buttery colours - wonderful. |
