Let A ( G ) be the adjacency matrix of G . The characteristic polynomial of the adjacency matrix A is called the characteristic polynomial of the graph G and is denoted by φ ( G , λ ) or simply φ ( G ) . The spectrum of G consists of the roots (together with their multiplicities) λ 1 ( G ) λ 2 ( G ) ... λ n ( G ) of the equation φ ( G , λ ) = 0 . The largest root λ 1 ( G ) is referred to as the spectral radius of G . A -shape is a tree with exactly two of its vertices having maximal degree 4. We will denote by G ( l 1 , l 2 , ... , l 7 ) ( l 1 0 , l i 1 , i = 2 , 3 , ... , 7 ) a -shape tree such that G ( l 1 , l 2 , ... , l 7 ) - u - v = P l 1 P l 2 ... P l 7 , where u and v are the vertices of degree 4. In this paper we prove that 3 2 / 2 < λ 1 ( G ( l 1 , l 2 , ... , l 7 ) ) < 5 / 2 .

In this paper we prove that $3\sqrt{2}/{2}< \lambda _1(G(l_1, l_2, \ldots , l_7))< {5}/{2}$.
