Beautiful! Fall colors aren't as vibrant in Texas as I remember as a kid growing up in Ohio. Something I miss.
That's good, people usually think that we can not match the US for fall colour on this side of the sea, but we do get a few odd displays worth noticing, glad you liked it.
Wow, I will think about planting that in my area.
Gets big, so make sure you have the space. Or if you are my age you just leave it for the millenials to sort out.
@Fernapple I have 1+ acre/ 1/4 is forest. I am always looking for a non-native, non-invasive to plant. One of my favorites is the Monkey Puzzle tree which is native to Chile and has a narrow growing range but we fit the bill and I have one. [owlcation.com]
@JackPedigo Super web page, thank you.
Now there is a long-lived tree. You have reminded me of the ginko I saw as an exchange student to Germany. It was in a palace courtyard in Braunschweig, reportedly a gift to Henrey the Lion-hearted from Marco Polo, brought from China. That was the story, anyway. And the tree was ancient.
Thank you that's a great story, it is long lived in another sense being a so called living fossil as well, a very early conifer which was once thought extinct. And the Marco Polo extra is a nice romance anywa,y even if it is not quite true. (I think the import was a bit later but don't quote me.)
