What type of tree symbolises love?

Question

I am thinking of buying a tree for my boyfriend for him to plant in the garden of his new house. It needs to look nice and also have some symbolic meaning, that is symbolise the love we have together. I've looked on the web already and have just come up with the hawthorn tree, which is the tree traditionally given to couples who are getting married. Don't want to give him the wrong idea and also I don't think this is a very nice looking tree either. Any other suggestions?

Answer 1

why not a climbing rose bush? or some small fruit trees? even a tomato plant (they were once called love apples!)

Answer 2

The classic magnolia soulangea is a wonderful romantic tree (not magnolia graniflora)Cherry blossom tree any variety is nice (prunus)Another tree that has stunning heart shaped leaves in red is Cercis,forrest pansy.

Answer 3

how about a  bonker tree. only joking .  would suggest a chinese maple or chinese cherry tree , a minute maple is nice as colours change from green to red through the season.  

Answer 4

how about a cherry blossom, so lovely when it flowers in the Spring,  

Answer 5

Any tree that you lovingly choose for him will be symbolic of your love.
