Lime and beech trees


Two of the most colourful native trees in an English autumn are the lime and the beech. Of the two, I would say that the lime is the most reliable, always changing its summer green for bright autmn yellow. Beech, to my mind, is somewhat less dependable in terms of depth of colour. But, in a good year its oranges and yellows outshines the lime by quite a margin. This year seems to have been a good one for the beech and this pairing of both lime and beech shows both trees off to great effect.
