The leaves will come in three colours that will give it a wonderful autumnal feel.

In addition, there will be 30 birds available to sit amongst the tree, which will be which will be on display for 8 years. Each leaf or bird can accommodate a personalise inscription, so over time the leaves and birds will fill the tree and showcase the wonderful messages.
