Cotinus

So pleased that this survived the winter!

Beautiful!!💘😍

The leaf colour is gorgeous isn't it!

Lovely to see the #smokebush come back to life at last!

This looks like its on fire! Can anyone tell me when I should prune this beauty please #advice. It's looking a little leggy!

So pretty. Mine have not started to change colors yet😢.

Do you probe yours Dar @SikoMa ?

Probe? Do you mean prune? I have not, yet. This is our first year with them Sylvia. They have not been tended to in nearly 3 years. When we bought this place in May, it was totally wild and over grown.

@franshinegee might have some tips for us. She has a Smoke Bush???

@SikoMa woops! Yes sorry prune!

I just probed mine 😉 early spring is good too! @SylviaDavies

Lol! Thanks @franshinegee ! I feel singe cuttings coming on! Whenever I prune, I take a few cuttings 😃 #foliage #autumn-colour

I always want to do that too but I don't have any more room to grow anything and I've already offered to share with all the neighbors! 😁 @SylviaDavies

Any ideas? Please help me identify this plant! ?

Cotinas maybe ?

Thanks @russellcooper I think it is now I've looked it up. I'd forgot what I planted last year! Brilliant having helpers at hand! Diolch!

Will look amazing when it flowers, backlit by late afternoon sun :)
