Being housebound, my observations of fall leaves This year are limited to my PT trips and the "Why didn't I chop these maple saplings and the Other saplings down when I had time this summer?!?!?"
They Mock me with their current red and yellow leaves!!!!

Maple saplings are a huge issue here too. They continue to ocreep along the perimeter of the pastures. They grow like weeds and a yearly issue keeping them in check is always worth the time. Same with the wild blackberries that I have seen roll across pastures covering everything in their path .


Last of the autumn jewels of the garden to share .

negative when scooping up and mulching tons of fallen leaves .

Throw rhizomes, or any hardy perennial you have success with, on top of (paper) bags of leaves, neatly surround with a perimeter of straw bales. Let snow mulch the top. In the following spring, voila : a raised perennial bed.

My sugar maple went in stages this year. Part of it stayed green, and I knew by the time that part turned, the first part would have fallen off.

The ginkgo tree (Ginkgo biloba) is one of the oldest living tree species in the world, with some individual trees reaching thousands of years old: Here’s a pic from my small tree collection of the male Ginkgo tree. Leaf shapes are Unusual shape just starting to change color.

I'd love to try a potted dwarf version. Anna's I think? Anny's?

@Lichnus Yes of course Anna’s dwarf is a perfect small dwarf tree for gardens. I’ve seen variegated dwarf ginkgos , quite showy . Or tiny bonsai if you have time for training a tiny tree. I have a special place in my heart for bonsai but I can’t seem to develop the patience or discipline for the art of bonsai.
Thank you for your many on my posts.
