My acer seedlings from the Botanic Garden which I weeded are all different colouring - salmon pink, rich toffee, crimson. pale pink and a very dark plum one - none of which are evident in the mother plants. A golden spiraea is ablaze. Lovely colours on the leaves of all my hydrangeas. Persicaria leaves too. We were lucky in the storm and escaped the wind but the heavy rain has spoilt the lovely rhus typhina in the garden across the road. None of the late varieties of apples were blown down so can look forward to the "Charles Ross" getting brilliant red for Xmas.

If had to choose a favourite Autumn tree I would have to choose the Oak! I know that's a surprise and I'm picking it for it's Autumn bounty of acorns loved by so much wildlife!
OK I know Acers have fantastic foliage but your not going to see a Green Woodpecker on it are you!! :-)
