Some of our Trees

 

I'm begging to get behind on what to post Tuesday so I may well cut down on the photos in the future and only stick to a couple. Today I thought I'd show a few of our trees in the garden

This acer has a long history with us. It was bought at a local supermarket or should I say imposed on us. The supervisor was trying to get rid of some plants that were the last left in the store. The acer was nothing more than a small shoot no one wanted and rather than throw it away she handed it to us for 50p. We took it home and grew it in a pot, planted it out where it nearly died, put it back in a pot and grew it on finally planting it out here a few years ago where it grew to the size you see

This time of year the leaves take on a beautiful colour

Going from green to red

This silver Birch tree was bought earlier this year for this bed we made

The leaves are now turning yellow and I hope it will grow on next year

 Last our little Oak tree, this was a small shoot we noticed growing in one of the flower beds, I dug it up and planted it in a pot where it will stay fro a while longer before I plant it in a bigger one. We have a few more tree which are taller and I'll show them another time

Take care
