It's August and the weather has been great in the last few weeks, but the first signs of Autumn can be seen in the garden already.The Katsura tree (Cercidiphyllum japonicum) is showing it's first colours.
While in the wild, in it's native Japan, this tree can reach 45m, keeping it in a pot reduced it's size considerably. It's been living in this pot for 3 years and looks happy. I will be cutting back the roots next spring and repotting it with new compost.
