Had to console myself with other peoples photos, so here are two.

Bugger, I missed the Fagus
Referring to an earlier Post, I found a buddy to go to Mt Field with, the day dawned bright BUT it was gale force winds and dangerous weather warnings, so we couldn't go. I seethed for the rest of the day. Then we couldn't make it for another five days, and by then the Fagus had all blown away in the high winds, so it is on the cards for next year.

Please, tell me what is the FAGUS?
Have no idea what is so special about it.
Ok, Fagus is a rare deciduous Member of the Beech family which only grows up in high country so you wouldn't find it around Hobart. In the Autumn it changes from green to gold and finally to red. It is a very small leafed tree which does not grow to any great height. It is a sight to be seen and I am most disappointed that I missed it this year.

Thanks for the info. It really does look great and I can understand that you are disappointed not to have seen it for yourself. Does this mean that the time for colour changing is only short?
