Taken last Sunday at Taisho Daigaku in Sugamo, Tokyo after our stressful New JLPT Level 3 Mock Examination. Seen in the picture above are my fellow gaijins who took part in the exam leaving the campus. The entrance to the campus is dwarfed by these tall trees in their peak stage of foliage.

The foliage was stunning this year in New England, and I just had to put up one more post... These photos were taken from the chair lift at Mount Wachusett in Princeton, MA on October 13, 2008. I can't wait to ski the trail in the last shot in a month or so! --- Thanks for reading this feed. Please stop by to comment!

We’d play touch footy at every opportunity we had, before school, during breaks, whenever and at one end of the ‘field’ there was a massive tree. If you were running towards the tree and heard the call ‘foliage’ then you knew someone was about to kick the ball high into the tree, which was in [...]

*Winkworth Arboretum--stunning photoFall is just around the corner here. It’s my favorite season and I simply cannot get enough of Fall foliage. I remember as a nonbeliever, when the Fall season came around, I would wonder whether God was real. Think about it. Planets rotating in space, and orbiting around the sun because of a random act? Impossible. There is just too much order in this universe

If you are plan to grow more than just one or two plants at a time, the odds are, most of them will fall under the heading of foliage plants. Although this type of plant is less showy and ornate than other varieties, it is easy to grow and will acclimate itself to most any surrounding with ease.

If you are considering having more than just a couple of varieties of plants, it is likely that the majority of your choosing would be considered to be "foliage" plants. Whilst foliage plants do not reward the owner with masses of blooms, they have their own beauty and as a bonus are easy to grow and are readily propagated. They are also more adaptable to various climatic conditions.

There is a large range of plants with colored foliage available to the gardener today. Reddish-purple, golden-yellow, silver, and grey-leaved plants, not to speak of the many types of variegated leaf, abound in nurseries and garden centers. Amongst all the plant forms - from trees to ground covers, one can find varieties that have brightly colored leaves. The challenge is to use them wisely and no

If you plan to grow more than one or two plants at a time, chances are most of them will be foliage plants.

In addition, they are simple to grow, easy to propagate and acclimate well to nearly any indoor environment. Foliage plants are the backbone of every home g

A rose is a rose is a roseuntil it withers and dies, losing its beguiling scent forever. But savvy landscape designers know they can count on year-round fragrance if they pack their gardens with aromatic foliage. Long after the blooming season ends, the scented leaves fill the air with a distinctive perfume of their own."A garden without fragrance is hardly a garden at all. You might as well just

It is the middle of November and if you’ve driven around the region and through out the east coast you’ve noticed that many of the trees still have their leaves and some of those leaves are still green. If you think that leaves being on the trees this late into the fall season is unusual you would be correct, and not alone in noticing the late foliage season. During a typical fall, starting in September and October, the rate of daylight decreases more rapidly and cooler weather begins to move in, this causes the trees to stop producing chlorophyll, which makes the leaves green. The chlorophyll then begins to break down and the leaves begin to change color. (This is a very simple explanation of what takes place) The Fall of 2007 was different. The day length got shorter as usual, but temperatures during the month of October did not get as cold as we tend to see on average. (In fact it was the second warmest October for Erie in Record) These warmer temperatures prevented the

In fact, if you plan your trip well, you could travel from Vermont down to Virginia photographing the most magnificent pictures of the entire Eastern coast as they burst into a spectacular array of color.

For many gardeners the prime goal is growing plants that bloom their heads off during spring and through the summer months. Some even experiment with the odd winter bloomer and many will attempt to deadhead their plants at the end of summer to encourage an autumn flourish. It seems that trying to keep flowers in the garden is the prime ambition and one that we should all strive to achieve. However, there are so many plants that actually look better without their foliage or colorful blooms that are sorely missed within many home gardens. They belong to the group of plants we term deciduous. Those plants that reside within this group shine best when their autumn colour has past and spring buds are a few months away. Stripped naked and bare their trunks, branches or stems create another dimension in the garden that only the super-wise gardeners seem to enjoy and plan towards. If your garden looks a little dreary in winter why not take advantage of some of these incredible trees and

One of the most striking aspects of genus Eucalyptus is their diversity. Sizes, shapes, colours, textures, fragrances. And multiple options for timber and non timber production, marketing and commercialization. Trees with bad press due to created interests, ignorance on their diversity frequently leads to firm opinion without solid basements.Examples of Eucalyptus species suitable for foliage production in Galicia Some years ago a certain Mr. Francisco Dans del Valle, forestry engineer, judged in 10 minutes a proposal for a Final Project from one of his college engineering students which involved identifying appropriate macro and microclimates for commercial cultivation of Eucalyptus trees able to yield annual non timber products under specially adapted forestry silvicultural regimes. Maybe judging on firm opinions based on limited data, the "impossible, so look for something else" veredict was not exactly very well received. Some years later, after trialling several dozen eucalypt s
