Hi,

It's because you haven't overridden the "ToString()" method that your Treet class has inherited from the Object class.

He explains what this is, and how to override this inherited method in a later video.

The current string that it is being printed, without overridding the ToString method (com.teamtreehouse.Treet@6d06d69c), is just saying that there is an instance of your com.teamtreehouse.Treet object located at (hence the '@' symbol) this location in memory (6d06d69c is a memory address).
