Tokyo Gardens in November

Scenes from a Japanese garden

Today ’s photograph hail from Cynthia Cox . She lives in Oklahoma City , but today she ’s sharing photos from a trip she took to Tokyo .

I moved from an acre lot to a downtown apartment in 2017 . I definitely miss my gardens , but I still get pleasure in call in public garden in my hometown of Oklahoma City and when I travel . These video are from Rikugien Garden in Northwest Tokyo . This beautiful garden is located behind a bulwark obliterate from the fence in vicinity . The Japanese maples and ginko trees were in full brilliant fall color . This was definitely one of the most gorgeous public gardens I ’ve ever visited .

A massive Nipponese cherry tree diagram ( Prunus serrulata , zone 5–8 ) . When in bloom , these Tree are of course an iconic part of the Japanese spring , but the forking structure is lovely even without the leave .

This beautifully influence pine tree is an example of aniwaki , which is a tree rationalise and shaped using techniques interchangeable to those used in bonsai but on full - size tree and shrub . Because these trees are such carefully form whole works of graphics , it ’s crucial that the arm not be damaged by heavy Baron Snow of Leicester lots . So the Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree is topped with a pole and a pyramid of supporting ropes going down to each branch to give it extra funding .

Here ’s another prominent tree framed with a beautiful pyramid of supporting ropes . These structures are are beautiful as they are practical for protect trees .

The brilliant fall colors of Nipponese maples ( Acerpalmatum , Zones 6–9 ) and other trees perch up the garden .

This perfect view of the garden showcases the lovely ramification of the Japanese maples , a perfectly simple nosepiece , and , in the foreground , Kuma bamboo grass ( Sasaveitchii , Zones 6–9 ) . This bamboo ’s leaves build up husk - colored margins during the winter .

A dead placed spotlight highlights the dramatic play of a Japanese maple in full autumnal color .
