Time of the Season - Autumnal Tree 2025

Across the road from my front yard stands a stunning large Green Ash tree (cf. pdf re. Australian uses).

I plan to capture a daily photo throughout Autumn 2025 to observe the transformation into its magnificent autumnal hues.

I'll be using my Mobile Phone's camera to capture these.

This is a complimentary page to my "The Giving Tree" photos.

The title reference is to the 1968 song by The Zombies, "The Time of the Season". 🌳

Catch-22.. Council severely trimmed it away from the overhead powerlines c.6 months ago... it's lost a lot of it's bulk.

Catch-22... with some strong wind & rain, many of the leaves have already blown away this year!

âž½  Across the road from me lies a little park with a small playground. In it lies a small "Prunus" tree that the local council cropped heavily at the start of winter 2022. The park has a series of about 10 different trees of this type, varying in age and size. This particular one is just the one that's closest to me. 🌳

I will try to take a weekly/regular photo to show its seasonal progress.


has been widely cultivated as a ... street tree in the temperate regions of Australia.

I love its deep maroon-coloured leaves. It hasn't fruited at all, perhaps as it is still too young?
(NB. I found out what type of tree it was using this App).

I water it most summer days (twice or more at a time), hobbling across with my walking stick and trusty 9-litre/2.3 gal blue plastic watering can!
"I'm the crazy old man who talks to the tree!" ðŸ¤£

I'll be using this camera this year. ðŸ“·
