Subject: Re: [OM] Autumn around the world, was: Nathan's PAD 31/10/2010:
autumn in Denmark
Could he have meant trees originating in those areas? Certainly east Asian
trees are grow all over for their colours (Rhus) while the European Plane
tree leaves (occidentalis rather than orientalis) that Nathan photographed
in the street just go brown and drop. We have some colour around here -
known for it in fact - but there is only one indigenous deciduous Australian
tree and that doesn't colour up (Nothofagus gunnii, I think) and the
Queensland White Cedar in my garden which does drop if grown in southern,
colder zones only manages a dull yellow.
