Just thought I'd rave about the color of these trees. Such clear, spectacular red! I'm thrilled.

Here we are and after wind gusts of 40 miles an hour and rains, the Brandywine is still holding its gorgeous red leaves.

Unfortunately, their growth rates seem to be 6'' a year. Nonetheless, I'm so pleased with their color!

Anyone else enjoying these? Are they really so slow growing, or is it just my horrendously dry conditions?
