My yard is adorned with a sour rose (Rhus typhina L 'Laciniata'.)
In October, the leaves change color, and slowly turn from orange to reddish.... I really like this tree, which is a true decoration of autumn.. In my area, we call it Deer Horn, because it has slender branches and the branches bend in various directions.... when a tree is cut nicely it becomes very interesting...it originates from North America.

Thanks to acids and various oils, sour ruj (as it is also called) is a strong antioxidant...
It has many more applications in folk medicine and is used in diseases such as diarrhea, rheumatism, gout...or colds...
The powder of the flowers is also medicinal, and when mixed with water, it is used to treat tumors, scurvy and dysentery...

The beauty of the tree combined with the beauty of the rose amazed me...
This fall my plants are beautiful...

"The little prince goes to see the roses again.

  • You don't look like my rose at all, you are nothing yet. - he told them. - No one tamed you, and you haven't tamed anyone either. And my fox was like you. She was just a fox like a hundred thousand others. But I made her my friend, and now she is the only one in the world."

" The roses were very confused.

  • You are beautiful, but you are empty - he told them again.
  • A man cannot die for you. Certainly, some ordinary passer-by would believe that my rose is similar to yours. But she herself is more important than all of you put together, because I watered her. Because I was putting it under the glass bell. Because I shielded it from the wind. Because I killed the caterpillars from it (except for two or three because of butterflies). Because I listened to her lament, or brag, or sometimes even be silent. Because it's my rose."

" And he returned to the fox:

  • Goodbye - said the Little Prince.
  • Goodbye - said the fox. - Here is my secret! It is very simple. Only with the heart do we see well. The essence is invisible to the eyes.
  • The essence is invisible to the eyes - repeated the Little Prince to remember."

The quotes are from the book
The little Prince
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
My favorite books that I would recommend everyone to read 🥰

Thank you for entering the contest.
We have that tree in our backyard too. But we have to try hard so that he stays in just one place. It multiplies very quickly by root shoots.

My pleasure @bucipuci 🥰

Yes, you're right... It takes effort to keep it in one place... But it's worth it... I also have it in front of the house... every autumn I enjoy the colors of their leaves....
