There you have it Jan,

I grow a few bonsai, and of course I have the usual (Japanese Maple)
acer palmetum amongst my collection.

The leaves started turning yellow yesterday.

(Although I cheat a little - they have fluoro grow lights that dont turn
off till 9 pm.)
But temperature wise - they are out in the open.

So Japanese Maples have decided that autumn is here. (The ones that are
further away from the Grow lights all dropped their leaves weeks
ago........


Tom
