For graphs H and F, let ex(n, H, F) be the maximum possible number of copies of H in an F-free graph on n vertices. The study of this function, which generalises the well-studied Turán numbers of graphs, was initiated recently by Alon and Shikhelman. We show that if F is a tree then ex(n, H, F) = Θ(nr) for some integer r = r(H, F), thus answering one of their questions.
