Japanese Maple

The Big-tooth Maples(Acer gradidentatum) have started changing colors.

Evening light adds a golden tint to the early spring foliage on a hilltop of Alyson's Orchard in Walpole, NH

@ Farmers Market in Surbiton

we've got lots of trees, but only a few are starting to shows signs of life again this spring. Still waiting for that Spring rush when the world turns green again.

The Red Maples are very bright this year which is making for a great season. These red maple leaves were a part of a colorful show at the Maplewood Cemetery in Harrison.

Japanese Maple

This old Maple is a good example of what's known as a ' wolf tree' - a tree that has grown out in the open, able to develop the full array of branches. Trees that grow up with close neighbors can't develop side limbs due to competition for light. All their growth is upward [making them good for lumbering, as the trunks will be tall and straight, with few branches along it]

This one was a beauty, probably between 80 and 100 years of age. It had the luxury of mown grass all around, since it's along the driveway of a farm.

Autumn colors, just in one leaf.

brilliant fall colors on my Amur maple in Canada.

Mikawa Yatsubusa from Iseli Nursery. A real dandy.

My brother and his wife have a cutleaf Japanese maple with leaves so thick that their surface looks more like winter pony fur than like leaves.
