    Have a look at bluebell arboretum and nursery site at ashby de la zouch. They have lots of trees and the website shows which ones are good for autumn colour.

    Good morning all image 

    Think Acer gris is potentially too big for our patch - although of course, it all depends on whether or not our ash trees succumb to Ash Dieback - if we lost them and had to have them out (they are very big) then the whole garden would change and we'd be in desperate need of trees.  We're right in the middle of the infected area, but when the aboriculturist attended to them 2 years ago he said that they were both pretty healthy although one was noticeably stronger than the other -  think that's because next door's garage is built close to one of them.  There are occasional dead shoots - but whether that's Chalara or just 'stuff that ash trees do' it's hard to tell.

    Ash is one of the best woods for logs.it can be used both green and dried.locally ash logs cost more than others.
