Brilliant . . . what a beautiful tree! Do you think it will get much bigger?

It will Sheila , we have another one in the garden planted when our grandson was born he is 13 this week making it a year older than this one and it is taller , I don't know how tall they can grow up to I looked it up in one of my books but it didn't state that fact !

What a beautiful Stately tree it has made, lovely colour;0)

WOW Amy, it's a beauty, look at that Autumn colour.

My Tulip Tree (Liriodendron) has been with us for 9 years now and I keep hoping for flowers .... one day.

Lovely autumn colour! :o)

Thank you It's one of my favs. Carole , What a treat to have a Tulip Tree Dawn do you know how long it takes before they flower lets hope it won't be long :o)
Thanks Plantoholic the colours are lovely .......

what a lovely thing to do ~ plant a tree for your granddaughter and what a beautiful tree.

Hi Amy, I think I've read between 8 and 12 years. We'll see, live in hope, bit like waiting for walnuts, lol

Beautiful colour and Shape

Lovely tree & what a wonderful way to celebrate the births of your grandchildren.

Sticki the childrens like to know which is 'their' tree :o)
You should be expecting something to happen soon then Dawn , do you have a Handkerchief tree ? they are lovely......Thanks Brian and Dwyllis I liked the idea and I know the children do :o))

well its a great idea and how very lovely that they are interested too.

last year i sent a christmas card that included a tiny baby tree ~ i dont know if you have seen them ~ it was to a lovely lady who has 3 children ~ 2 of them got married within 3 months ~ i thought she might like to remember the year by planting a tree!!! she loved it.

I haven't seen cards like that Sticky it sounds a great idea I'm sure it's a very welcome gift card .....

Given me an idea for when my little Great Grandson arrives Amy;0))

Stunning shape and colour Amy, the leaf shape is so pretty too. Such a great idea a tree each for the grandchildren....:o)

Oh Yes Carole a perfect solution ( I have noted that it's Grandson ) Thanks Janey , we had one tree for our oldest Granddaughter at our last house/garden we had to dig it up to bring it with us when we moved ,luckily it survived and always flowers on her birthday .......

Stunning Autumn colour, it has grown rather a lot in 12 years, a lovely idea to plant trees on the birth of your grandchildren, we have a tulip tree Dawn it would be amazing to see a flower on it, we live in hope.

gorgeous colour..lovely looking tree

I agree with all the comments Amy, you must have a large garden..lucky you...:>)

Thanks Angela it has grown a lot quite quickly , lucky you having a tulip tree I hope you are able to see flowers before to long
Thanks Skips ..it certainly adds a brightness at this time of the year ..We have half an acre Motinot ,not so big but it still takes a lot of looking after :o))

A beautiful tree.

Thanks Carol :o)

Hi Amy, no I havent got a Handkerchief Tree, hmmmm may have to look into it.

How long have you had yours Dotty? Looking out of the window at mine now and its glowing gold, lovely arent they.

Lovely tree, Amy...
It seems your grandchildren's trees are taller than they are !

Lucky they were both born at a good time of year for tree planting ... not in the deep snow ... or heat of the summer ..

Lol..

Thanks TT .. the two that the Liquid Ambers were bought for were born within a week of each other 1 year apart ! one was 28th Oct the other 3rd Nov. it's been parties all week plus a Bonfire party here this Sat. night .. we don't have any animals near us so it's an excuse to born our garden rubbish .. :o)

Lol... one never-ending party at Amy's place ;o)

A beautiful tree,really nice.

Thanks Lynda ,the lovely autumn colour is what makes it special :o)
