The woodland in Laholm is now changing from dull green to bright fall colors and most trees and shrubs are turning yellow, red and orange. Even the perennials want to join the color parade. The Foam flowers,
Tiarella, goes brownish orange and so does the
Gillenia, while the
Geranium maculatum 'Vickie Lynn' turns more bright orange red.
Nyssa sylvatica, the Tulepo tree
At the moment one small Tulepo tree,
Nyssa sylvatica, is glowing clear red while others just started to convert. The Honey locusts,
Gleditsia triacanthos, have already dropped most of their bright yellow leaves and the Red maples,
Acer rubrum, are only in the early stage of the color explosion.
The woodland in Laholm was planted in 2008 and is a part of the city park under development. New exciting departments are added constantly, now latest an amazing spring bulb planting and next spring we are creating a European meadow with both acid and more calcareous habitats with a huge diversity of meadow plants.
