Copper Beech Tree

A Copper Beech tree is growing slowly but surely in the middle of the Dog-Path Garden. Perhaps I'll still be here gardening in twenty year's time, when it will be majestically, fully mature (like me...)

The best time to appreciate this spreading tree is in Autumn, when the leaves colour dramatically to fiery golden. I limb it up so I can still garden underneath. I love this photograph of the warmish autumn sun shining through the Copper Beech leaves.
