Autumn colour

It is this time of year that many trees really do come into their own.

One of my favourite is the humble sumac tree, which has some of the brightest scarlet red leaves you could possibly find in the natural world. The ornamental cherry is another tree that shimmers with an autumnal glow while some of the acer family show off their colours before becoming a bundle of bare bits of twig.

I'd be interested to know your favourites...
