Colours

Fall colours are starting to appear. It will be sad to no longer have the colours of summer, but hopefully we will have a really beautiful Fall. If only someone would introduce Maple trees from eastern Canada to my province : ) Photo taken at the Reader Rock Garden on 21 August 2013.

Excellent lighting and very rich colours Anne ... the only large Maple reliably grown in your neck of the woods is the Manitoba Maple (Acer negundo) ... many people regard this as gnarly old tree to be weeded out. That is because it seeds itself easily and these seeds often germinate along fences in alleyways and grow up to do battle with power lines ... then they get chopped down!!

Ha, the Maples do not grow in your area very well Anne ... Calgary/Edmonton has the Hardiness Zone of about 3a (too cold) ... here is the Hardiness Zone Map:

Most Maples thrive in about 5-9 with only a few in the 3 level ...
