That maple - my goodness, what color! I cannot stop looking out my window onto this scene.
The maple is 'Autumn Blaze' and the little red tree on the left is a dwarf flowering dogwood.
The red twig dogwood is a stunner. It will retain its crimson stems all winter long.
This white pine in my neighbor's backyard is one of my source trees for pine needles for mulch.
I love fresh mulch, and the look it gives to the gardens.
