It is already the middle of June – where has the time went?\u00a0 Within a week the Amelanchier berries have ripened and we have been sampling them along with the birds.\u00a0 The Dawycki Gold Beech trees have\u00a0 spectacular gold foliage I noticed while eating berries so I took a picture.\u00a0 In the Spring they were brighter and they will return to that brightness in the fall.\u00a0 These columnar plants are small now – only 10′ to 12” feet but they will be spectacular in a few years.\u00a0 The Hydrangea Standards are just pushing\u00a0 to bloom and there should be some fabulous photo ops next week.\u00a0 The mulberry trees are fruiting – I went to pick some berries to eat and it took days to get the purple juice from the berries off my fingers.\u00a0 The birds love them, they are really pretty colours\u00a0with a combination of pinkish, red or purplish violet multi drupe berries.\u00a0 The trees are nice and full with their weeping form.\u00a0 The Gledistias\u00a0 are now forcing out new growth – spectacular yellow new foliage looks neat against the lime green older leaves.\u00a0 Beside them in the field is the Paperbark Maple.\u00a0 I noticed it because of all the neon green keys (seedlings).\u00a0 These are one of my favourite trees.\u00a0 The picutre doesn’t do it justice but the bark of the Paperbark Maple is similar to\u00a0that of a Birch only it is brown in colour which looks magmnificent in the winter.\u00a0 Not to mention the bonus of beautiful red fall leaves – so typical of the maples.\u00a0 Some of the plants that arrived last week are now healed in their beds.\u00a0 Check out the huge Japanese Maple – just gorgeous!\u00a0\u00a0 And look how the sculpted pines look in the ground – looks like they have been there forever.\u00a0 The Hostas are starting to bloom – I could almost do an article on them alone!\u00a0 Next blog I will focus on the island bed – and add some of the pictures I took this week.\u00a0 Too many trees, too many plants, too many pictures, too much to say…I almost have to start doing this daily!<\/p>\n
