My Backyard St.Ivy

My Acer palmatum taken today - Bonsai; approximately 8 years old, 70cm tall. Its' leaves are only just yellowing, while its mother tree is now a brilliant red... *sigh.

Acer being repotted few months before

roots trimmed down
in the new pot just before the weird 2012 Melbourne summer kicked in - a really heavy mothertrucker!

terrible photograph, I know; taken by my old phone. Acer when about 7 years old, no manipulation just yet.

Mum's winter melon (I think) blossom

Choko (Sechium edule Cucurbitaceae - Chayote/Christophine/Chocho/Mirliton/pear squash/vegetable pear/Chouchouet [many names!]) in abundance!
