Flowering Now Mid November 2006
mark smyth:
Lets get this flowering now page up and running again.
Not in my garden but that of Margaret Glynn is this lovely Cercidiphyllum
Maggi Young:
Thanks, Mark. The Cercidiphyllum has leaves that smell of chocolate, is that right?
mark smyth:
the computer says uh uhhh! Candy floss, carmelised sugar
Martin Baxendale:
Maggi, Mark's right Cercidifolium japonicum leaves smell very strongly of candy floss and caramelised sugar/toffee apples when they take on their autumn colour. I have 2 small ones in the garden and the smell is really incredible. Better still are the big ones at Westonbirt Arboretum near here, which you can smell a hundred yards away on a still, moist day! Delicious!
David Shaw:
We planted a C. japonicum last year and it smelled great but this year there was next to no smell at all. Does the weather have anything to do with it. It has been so mild that it was not until today, 15 November, that we had our first frost.
