Very beautiful Bob, love your avatar! How tall is your tree looks pretty big. I have heard of Coral Bark, but did not realize the bark was red, that is really amazing. I love it. ![]() susan Susan In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.....Margaret Atwood |
Thanks, the tree is about 7ft and the branches turn red as the weather gets cold. The newer growth gets redder. |

I have a 'Fire Glow' which I was really excited about but it is a very, very slow grower. How long did it take your tree to get seven feet? Susan In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.....Margaret Atwood |
It has taken quite some time. It was planted about 10 years ago at about 4ft, but the main branching has been broken off in storms at least twice. |

Are those Charpeis? How is that Maple for fall color? In the end, only kindness matters. Science is not the answer, it is the question. |
They are Chinese Shar-Pei.![]() It's a nice yellow in the Fall. |

LOL - sorry, I completely mangled the spelling. Cool looking dogs! Wonder if I can find a local Coral Bark - I think it's gorgeous. In the end, only kindness matters. Science is not the answer, it is the question. |
They are very common at garden centers around here. |

They are very expensive here. ![]() Susan In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.....Margaret Atwood |
Next year check at Lowes , they had them up here if I remember right around 50 dollars. I wait till fall for buying trees when they go 75% off.Most garden centers go at least 50% off by Oct. in this area. |

I'll have to keep that in mind - I'm not finding it available at my usual places.... In the end, only kindness matters. Science is not the answer, it is the question. |
