Joseph and his Technicolour Dream Tree
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?

Liquidambar. Mabye L. Lane Roberts, or L. Worplesdon?
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.
papi Jo (aka Joseph)
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!
treaduk. I got the " Joseph" reference. Back in the day we sang the musical at school.
Ah, ok. http://www.josephthemusical.com/
Or maybe even the book of Genesis Papi Jo.
did they had technicolour back in OT days?
In the sticks near Peterborough
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.
