I adore the wonderful effects of bark in the garden, and have a few examples myself, but not this one. An Acer, I believe? Is it classed as a snake-bark maple? Mine is Acer hersii, which has a green bark.
What a nice color and pattern. You weren’t out visiting arboretum/nurseries again were you? You’re bound to end up with another witch hazel or two.
I really need to catch up on your rambles!

Yes, Acer conspicuum and you will have realised from the next post that it was not in my garden! Your A hersii sounds nice – must look it up.

Haha! You know me well – I was out and about but only made a cursory visit to the plant sales area… 🙂
