West Park Japanese acers beginning to turn, 2011

West Park Japanese acers beginning to turn, 2011

The Japanese acers which are planted at various spots in West Park have now begun to put on their annual display of autumn colour. What is noticeable is the variation between the displays of the different trees. I don’t know whether this is because they are different species, or that different parts of the park have different micro-climates. These pictures were all taken within a few minutes of one another last week.

  1. They are a magnificent set of trees.

    My impression is that they are changing colour earlier and going even more vivid than usual this year.
