Hello

My neighbour has a tree which is quite fabulous in Autumn, bright red
/orange foliage etc. We don't know what it is, but it is not a Jap. Maple.
It has cones at the end of its branches.

If I plant one of its cones will it grow into a new tree ?

Thanks


It might. One would normally plant the seed from the cone but it can
take a while to germinate.

Sounds as if this could be a Liquidambar, I think.
