Some more fall color...the theme is red.
1. Stewartia pseudocamellia. Yard tree (though I've tried several layers, all have failed to root). These are fantastic, great fall color, nice bark, beautiful flowers in late spring.
2. Close up of stewartia foliage.
3. Arakawa maple foliage. The tree itself isn't much to look at yet, lots of work ahead of it. But nice color.
4. Ilex serrata berries. I took 3 layers off a larger plant last summer (this is one of them), and one this year. Plan is to put them together as a group. Still need to get another layer off the main plant.
5. Shishigashira maple. This one almost overnight turned from green to a neon orange-red that the camera doesn't fully capture, pretty amazing. Another tree that is in early stages, started from an air layer last year.
