Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: A bit of fall color, 2 by shortleaf

It's funny about my 2 Ozark Witch-Hazels, one is in a pot and one a few feet away is in the ground.
Although, they both came from the same bundle and are the same age, (approx. 4 years), one is in the full Fall color of yellow and the one in a pot is still green! They are only separated by a car.

Here is the yellow one first and the green one second. -

I still have a Persimmon tree that is looking nice. - third photo

That third photo is looking North, up that driveway is quite an incline. I've boasted before that there is a little of a microclimate here because of the steep hill on the North. This area in KCMO, (Sugarcreek is a suburb of Kansas City, MO.) is zone 6a at best, I have a Rose rated zone 6b growing (and overwintering) back there, 'Royal America'. - http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=5522 I doubt that it's much different in the backyard in Winter but maybe a half a zone! Believe me, I don't plan on planting Coconut trees or African Violets in the ground! : )

Nice pics, Weerobin, Japanese Maples and alot of Acers have outstanding Fall colors.

I am even from Missouri, (but not St. Louis) and I rooted for the Red Sox, not the Cards, in the Series, the Red Sox hadn't won a World Series since 1918. The Cards have been winning the Series pretty regularly the last few years. I have some family that was rooting for the Cards so I had to keep quiet..lol I am a Chiefs fan all the way though and they are now 9 and 0!
