Yellow Leave Production Hamacho Park

[Satoken] Nov. 30, 2014 14:00

Recently, I took a walk around Hamacho Park. The weather was fine and the ginkgo shined in the soft sunlight in the evening.

Rather than yellow, it was golden, and I felt like there was something good, so I took it in my camera.

Momijibafu RRSC.jpg In late November, the cold weather became even more severe, and it was as cold as Shiwasu.

Finally the end of autumn.

The rows of ginkgo trees on the Akashicho Green Road are completely colored yellow and are at their best.

By the way, on November 25, the Tokyo region "Ginkgo Yellow Leaves", one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's plant seasonal observation information, was announced.

It is said that it is five days later than normal and one day later than the previous year.

This time, we picked up the autumn leaves of "Momijibafu (also known as U.S. Fu)," which is also planted along the Akashicho Green Road.

A deciduous Takagi of the family Asteraceae, native to North America, Central and South America.

The bark is brownish, shallow and longitudinal. The flowering season is around April.

Fu is written as maple and leaves are also palm-shaped, alternate, with a collection of fruits (spherical shape) hanging, while the leaves of maple (collectively term for the maple family maple) are opposite and have a propeller-shaped wing fruit.

It is a neat tree shape and has a variety of autumn leaves, from green to yellow to yellow to orange to red, so it can be parabled as "seven colors of autumn leaves" and gorgeous.

The fruit of "Iga" with a long handle that remains on the branches after falling leaves is also impressive.

■In the scenery of the city, I was worried about the unevenness of the height with the surrounding buildings. In addition, for disaster prevention, in buildings with large glass surfaces, I was worried about the danger of falling glass fragments when there was an earthquake more than expected.

I hoped that close exchange of opinions between businesses and the government, such as unified cityscapes and urban disaster prevention, would be continued. .

Autumn color gradation of natsuta

[Sam] Nov. 19, 2014 14:00

Vine wall ELS.JPGNatsuta real RRSC.JPG  Autumn gradually deepens,

The sunset is getting faster, and it makes you feel that the coming winter is approaching soon.

The leaves of the trees are colorfully colored in the planting of Harumi Triton Square, but this time we will focus on autumn leaves.

Japanese dogwood, Yoshino cherry tree, Salsberg, Hasenoki and Nishikigi are dyed red.

Attention is paid to "Natsuta" (also known as Nishizukita) of the vine family.

Spring buds, lush greenery in summer, autumn leaves, winter vine patterns, and plants with many highlights throughout the year.

Stretch the beard and climb the rocks, trees, and walls with the suction cup at the tip.

It is said that when the trunk grows thicker, it sticks out and sticks.

It hides under the leaves and produces small fruits similar to grapes.

The birds come in and it's rugged.

The vivid red color is not enemies to gozenoki, etc., but the autumn color gradation that covers the entire wall of the Triton parking building creates a unique atmosphere and is worth seeing.
