This week it seems as though Mother Nature has opened a jewelry box of glittering gems at Coppertop for our enjoyment. Rubies and emeralds pale in comparison.

    Beautiful Gems of color! What is the name of the tree that has the red leaves in the last photo? They are spectacular! Mary Jane

    1. Hi MJ! That is our Cotinus coggygria, or smoketree, and its foliage shines in shades of red and purple right now. Next to it, our golden spirit smoketree is changing from brilliant golden green to more peachy tones. I love these shrubs.
