It is an absolute beauty Doris
This is the same tree in winter time when the leaves have left it behind

Does it hold that color all summer? That's a real beauty!

The bark holds its colour very well during the summer, although it is obviously less noticeable when the tree is in full leaf. It does get darker and redder in winter as seen in the first photograph
Summer leaf colour is a light green as seen in this photograph
