I have been consistently delighted with my two Leopard Trees I planted back in April of this year! They have shown me so many different sides and moods, from variations of colour to leaf shapes when open and when closed. Did you know that the leaves actually close when the sun goes down? I have also noticed that they close when it is very windy! I guess this is how they conserve water! Their bark is multi-coloured and when I water them, they have this lovely green tinge!
Every month seems to show a new face…… have a look!

Gorgeous tree!
Thank you – your post on Rapini – what is it? Like a spinach? Are they in raised beds?
It makes a plant seem almost human, when you see it close its leaves. It moves, it lives, it thinks bedtime, or #%^^ing wind again!
🙂 SO TRUE!!
Oh, I love those trees that change with the light and the weather. Beautiful foliage, too! Fun post!
Absolutley! they are a constant delight!
Oh Barbie I love this tree…what great foliage…
They are amazing. The bark too is so colourful. I’ll have to do another post on that 🙂
