Autumn acers


The Acer family of trees are renowned for their colours in spring and autumn. Consequently they have been the subject of breeding programs that have sought to extend and deepen the range of colours that they can produce and also broaden the shape and size of their leaves. The three photographs today were taken at Westonbirt, the National Arboretum near Tetbury, Gloucestershire, that has a fine collection of these trees.
