What is Your Favorite Tree?

Post Reply New Topic

trees that do not grow thorns. One day after it had rained a friend and I were shaking the trees making the water fall off. I grabbed one tree not seeing it was covered with huge thorns and started shaking it. Then I saw my hands were bleeding and I ran to my mom crying.

I would say my favorite tree is a magnolia tree because they make one of my favorite flowers the magnolia flower!

yes, you do. in the middle of the mountians, the leaves rustling. and me walking out of the mountian, dressed in full blackmetal atire. i hand you a leaf i picked out of the forest, you accept.. we live happily ever after

I have a nature preserve behind our (my mom and I's) house, so it's trees galore here! There's also three lakes and a river back there as well.

I got to say Richard you got it good, you live in Arizona

i dont live in a desert. i live here

Here's my second favorite tree:
#2 The Larch

My favorite is the weeping cherry. It combines the cherry blosoms & weeping willow look. Very awesome.

Eucalyptus: my backyard is a Eucalyptus forest....

I like it.

weeping willow.

There's a park I used to go to a lot, with a ton of magnolia trees. The whole place smelled wonderful. Kinda fruity, like something you should at least try to eat.

My favorites though are palm trees. Here, there's at least a few planted on almost every block. They feel like home to me.

Oak trees, because they're sturdy :o

The redwood so large majestic and ancient.

The Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica), a.k.a. sugi. Sugis grow in very interesting shapes, especially when the trees are younger. Here is my little 2 year old sugi:



Adult trees look like this:



Here is a close-up of the feather shoots (the outermost needle branches) of an adult sugi, which seem to crawl over each other like caterpillars:



The needles are also very soft and rubbery, unlike most other conifers. I usually like deciduous trees better, but sugis are special :3 They also make great bonsai trees.

I planted my baby in '06. It was a sapling at one inch across. Wife Snapped it earlier today.

Mine is the Oak Tree.

! Oh you mean she took the picture at first I thought it got broken.
That's an absolutely beautiful tree Mdyar.

My favorite is the Whitebark Pine.
