Joseph and his Technicolour Dream Tree

TreadukTreaduk Posts: 42

Morning all,

I walk past this on my way to and from the office everyday. I’ve not paid it much attention before but the colours over the last couple of weeks have really caught my eye, I’m relatively new to gardening but don’t think I’ve ever seen anything with so many different colours on it! Is anyone able to ID please?

    I confirm that is a Liquidambar specimen. We have lots of them in my little town, in full technicolor colours at the moment.

    PS I don't understand the "Joseph" in your post title.image

    Wonderful, thanks to you both!

    Papi Jo - there was a musical about Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat and this morning, mid-commute and pre-coffee I thought it was amusing. Ignore me, it was probably too early for me to attempt to be funny!

    Yes, in weaving terms......   Certainly enough to make a bunch of older brothers decide it was the last straw in favouritism and sell him off into Egypt.
