And why do you like it so much?
There was a HUGE oak tree at my grandma’s house. I mean it was MASSIVE covering like the whole yard and was like 5 feet in diameter.
I grew up playing under it climbing limbs and swinging on a tire swing and a funner branch-seat swing which was lighter so it would go higher. Heres kinda how it looked:
Anyways, in a hurricane a few years ago a large branch snapped off and it got infected and had to be chopped down :(
Araucaria species. Because of their shape. They are the best.
I also really really like Magnolia trees, the large grandiflora ones ( those with the large glossy leaves and white flowers). I mean the flowers are amazing, but the way their trunks develop in very large specimens is so good, those semi buttressed roots and aerial offshoots hanging down are crazy amazing.
So yeah, araucarias and magnolias.
The walnut tree. Its leaves are dense so it casts a cohesive shadow, perfect for shelter from the sun. I LOVE how it smells, especially when developing walnuts, and green walnuts are entirely unique in how they taste!
Mango tree!! 🥭🌳
It’s big, it provides plenty of shades, it’s unassuming, and most importantly it has mangoes!!
Apple tree, cause cider beer is amazing (the dry stuff like Strongbow)
This is a really great answer. Concise, listed, and checks all the boxes. Kudos.
Balanced binary tree
Real answer: Japanese maple and willows
We have a big maple in our yard and more through the neighborhood. The sound of wind running through their leaves is very calming.
Whatever tree grows fastest in my region 🌳🌳.
- they provide shade after 10 years
- fast growth removes CO2 from the air
- block vision
- root system stabilizes ground
- wood can be sold after 30 years, replant
I guess the fastest growing tree in my region is spruce 🌲.
I’m going to go with white oak. The wood is very versatile; it’s strong enough for load bearing furniture, it’s hard enough for tabletops, it steam bends quite nicely, it’s just a joy to work with, looks wonderful under an oil finish, and it lends a nice flavor to whiskey.
Charlie Brown christmas tree. Are there Christmas tree bonsais?
Eucalyptus. Houses koalas, smells nice, is sturdy, and has a chance to explode when on fire due to the oil inside.
American Chestnut. Have a few seedlings we planted in the front yard. Super excited to be part of the process of restoring them
Number three…
The larch.
there’s this one tree in a park nearby that I used to climb on as a kid, id say that’s my favorite tree
Weeping willow trees. We had one at my childhood home. When it was sold, the new owners tore it out. I was very sad.
Don’t worry, it’s back. Those things refuse to die.
I am fairly certain there are no trees on the property anymore. I don’t know what they had against trees, but they tore out everything!
