Fallen leaves

[Tetters]

Zigs has been making yet another video I always think, oh well, it keeps him occupied and quiet.... this is a good one I think, and quite educational as well, so I thought I'd show you....

It would be interesting to have a look at some of the fallen leaves in your neck of the woods

These are off the 'net.
Camphor tree: PITA as they sucker everywhere.




^^^^ Pecan tree leaves which don't come down individually, the whole stem comes off with the leaves on each side still attatched.die

I have both red oak and white oak in the yard.

White oak^^ Red Oak

Below is Water oak, or Black oak as some call it. This and a pecan which grew together, are what split during the hurricane and got cut down to stumps.

Cabbage palm or Sabal Palmetto which grows just outside my fence. They stay only a few feet tall and the natives used to eat the hearts, ie, "Heart of Palm ".

Below is a Chinese fan palm. They have fronds about 6' long. This one is across the street from me and I have another just outside my fence on the side street. I'm on a corner lot.

Then the cedar tree which is in line with the palm, about 30' away.

The last near me is a Live Oak Quercus virginianus, in my back yard, below

Nice one Annie

The Pecan is very much like our Walnut, leaves come off the same and the nut looks the same too.

I like the Oak, there's a low growing one that I saw in Ibiza that has Acorns but the leaves are like tiny Holly leaves, would make a great Bonsai

I forgot the pear tree next door. No telling what variety it is, it's old and produces heavily in late summer but it is definitely not a Bartlet pear ( it doesn't stink like they do)!!

Right now they are all yellow !!
