I live to the south of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire. Somewhat overcome by the work needed in the garden, I share bits of it! Twitter @oldgreyheron

I know it’s more acres, but the contrast is wonderful, even better in reality! #foliagefriday

A view of the larger acers from further away. Apologies for the very wonky dryer. The two largest were grown from seed around 35 years ago. The one on the left is a snake bark maple, on the right - unknown!

You have loads of great ones - what’s the one in larger pic?

@sharonhayden I was hoping no one would ask! This is a tree around 35 years old, grown from seed from the Northern Horticultural Society (now RHS Harlow Carr). In those days I was even worse than I now am at labelling. I’ll have to ask the RHS to help me!

Just I have one that looks the same 😉 and very impressive growing from seed - in it for the long haul 🤩

The emerging leaves on the acers are appearing much later than last year. I love this season!
