Liquid Amber Styraciflua

Lovely !

Gorgeous it really lives upto its name and very stately looking too, p.s. thanks for the photos a lovely pair of grandchildren, you must be very proud of them;0)

That's gorgeous Amy - one of my favourite trees! (I have two Liquidambar which are only 3 ft tall . . . perhaps they don't like clay?!)

Awesome Amy. Was going to let you know, my baby is doing well. Only about 18 inches high but just the colour of yours.

Thanks Julia /Carole we are :o)) , Sheila I have another tree behind this one you can just about see it in the photo yo the right the leaves are much darker I wonder if it's because it's in the shade more than this one , I'm glad your baby is doing well Dawn once they get going they start growing quite quickly ... x

Whoo hoo Amy, I cannot wait :)

you are so lucky to be able to have lovely trees,Amy..this one is beautiful..:o) x

Beautiful :)

Maybe your second tree is the other variety? Apparently there are two . . L. 'worplesdon' which is yellower, and I can't remember the name of the other, lol. Will have a look.

Thanks Sandra / Gee , Sheila they are both Styraciflua and in fact the one behind has changed much redder in colour this last week the one in front gets the sun all day long I suspect that is the difference ....

Right . . . and is your soil acid?? (ours is alkaline . . leaves quite colourful but nothing like yours!)

Yes we have acid soil Sheila maybe that helps :o)

:))

ohhhh, nice!

Thanks Fran :o)

Have always fancied growing the Liquidamber, wonder if I could squeeze one in somewhere......Amy this is a beauty, how old is it?

It's 15 years old Angela it was bought on the birth of our Grandson Ryan he was 15 last week .. there are some suckers round the base of the tree I can see if I could dig a small one up if you are interested Dawn had one she says it's growing well ..

Yes, I am pleased to say I have a baby Ryan, its lovely. Sure you could get away with a baby and enjoy the lovely colours Angela.

Lol I like that Dawn , a baby Ryan I'm going to tell him his tree has been renamed :o)

This is stunning Amy.Beautiful colours, certainly lives up to its name! :-)

Thanks Val :o)

I must take a pic of Baby Ryan to show Ryan x

Dawn I met his mum Elaine today to do some christmas shopping and told her Ryans tree was now being named Baby Ryan ,she thought it very funny and is going to tell him :o)) x you might have seen Ryan when he was tiny he was chosen as the face of Tesco for their photography service his face was plastered up in all the stores Lol ...

Hahaha Amy. Awww bless him, I'm going to try and find him on google. X

I've failed in finding Ryan. Hope your Christmas shopping went well.

That was 15 years ago Dawn , I'll find a photo for you :o) x we had a good shopping trip what we couldn't get has been ordered at counters to be picked up this next week ... :o))

Beautiful, glad I have for one too...grows very fast, and a very healthy tree...

I'm pleased your tree is doing well Michaella they make a lovely autumn show ,I've noticed several in carparks lately they will look beautiful when they all ' grow up '
