Liquidambar No.2

Very slow indeed! Beautiful though. ;)

Thank you Karen - very kind :)

It'll grow! And provide beautiful colour, as well. I think it's very pretty.

Thanks Susanne. One is in full sun, the other in dense shade - no difference in their growth though, which is 'Quite Interesting'!

I'm sure they will put on a spurt all of a sudden,Sheila..how tall do they usually get? I don't know anything about these..very pretty foliage :o)

Thanks Sandra . . yes, they do tend to be grown for their foliage. The first one I saw was at Wisley (my parents lived nearby and it was my Dad's favourite tree) . . . it was ENORMOUS! I think there are six varieties which can grow to anything from 20ft to 80ft but - thankfully perhaps - they prefer acid soil, and ours is alkaline/neutral :)

Oh wow,that is big ! If you have the space,I guess it's no problem..nice to remind you of your Dad,Sheila..and what a lovely place to live..I loved it there,as we went for a visit,when we went to Chelsea flower show in 2008,on a long weekend..just such a beautiful place..The very first photo's I posted on here were from Chelsea..with a lot of trial and error ! Lol.It took me ages to get the hang of it :o)
