Alice: It's weird how many trees still have green -- or mostly green -- leaves, while others are completely bare. Those that are still changing color seem more washed out than the vibrant colors we saw earlier this month.
When I lived out there I had a Chinese Willow that stayed green even when there was snow on the ground. It was always the very last tree on the block to lose it's leaves.
I wouldn't have recognized it if we hadn't looked it up because of the slow leaf fall. It's a lot like a weeping willow, but with smoother bark. It was nearly four stories tall. with a more symmetrical drooping of the branches.
Pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteHere too. Except for the evergreens that never turn.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jana!

ReplyDeleteChinese Willow? I don't know if I could identify that one. I do like weeping willows, though. ;)
