Gosh mine is starting to take on its autumn colours already 💛

@lovemygarden65 Some of it is changing....you can just see bit of colour behind the green. I know have two reasonably mature Rhus in the garden, and they are a fair size now - planted them 10/11yrs ago. Only on last couple of years have I had the flower spikes. Have been so envious of other people's that I though I had a non-flowering form!!! Lol 😀 They look great all year round 😀

Because I have such a small garden I stripped all lower foliage so it looks like a small tree. It meant I could under plant for more interest. Mine is about 8years old and has flowers, it doesn't come into leaf until late May early June, not sure if this is normal ? @reedie-cottsge

Rhus typhina (Stag's Horn Sumach). I have a couple of mature trees in the garden, which look better and better each year. This photo is of a young form in a pot. Have quite a few in pots now. Just need to decide what to do with them now!!! 😀
