What is your favorite type of tree? 🌳

Monique vdB

I live in California, and though I do love the redwoods, my absolute favorite tree is the coastal cypress, especially in the fog. My happy place is anywhere along the coast, listening to the ocean and admiring the cypress trees. Post your favorite tree in this thread. Can't pick one? Post a few! 😉

The Giant Sequoia!

What's better than a tree that hugs back? Fun Fact: Some sequoia groves were logged in the late 1800s and early 1900s, but not very successfully. The trees would often shatter when they hit the ground because of their brittleness and great weight.

Talk about a great defense system 😆

The holly oak tree is my favorite! I'm partial towards the Mediterranean variety but they also grow along the California coast, namely Encinitas to Santa Barbara. Fun fact, Encinitas is literally translated to "a grove of oak trees"!

Forest view near my house.

As for favourite tree - its evergreen trees. They are extremely beautiful all year round, especially at winter.

Monique vdB

@Evgenii where is your house? I want to go to that forest! 😍

Evgenii

@Monique vdB just 10 minutes from Moscow by car, Russia.

Now I'm in Israel, it'not so green here, but palms, grape plantations and millions of olive trees in Galilee mountains are extremely beautiful too.

This is too hard to pick! But I'll give a shout-out to one of the most beloved: The Cherry Blossom! I love the sense of joy and community these trees bring as people gather to see and sit under them.

I just wanted to share the same. These are very popular in the town, where I live. I absolutely love them.

My little slice of heaven.
There's a little cabin in there, this is where my retirement awaits.

You just never know where you might find a tree.

Azadirachta indica, commonly known as margosa, neem, nimtree or Indian lilac, is a tree in the mahogany family Meliaceae.

It provides 24*7 hours oxygen. Also, used in medicine.

What a fun thread- I have a few photos of EXCELLENT TREES

This is a weeping willow in the springtime.

I also love when they are dramatically sweeping over water. This tree lives in the botanical gardens, where it can be appreciated by many:

I also have a soft spot in my heart for trees on tiny islands. This one you can swim around, but cannot go on the island itself, to protect the trees and prevent erosion.

Gorgeous picture!

Oh that first shot is gorgeous. 💚

Magnolias in bloom!

My favorite is a pink flowering Dogwood. We have one on our front lawn and for 2 weeks every year it brings me so much enjoyment seeing it bloom.

I'm in southern Florida and my favorite is the palm tree. BMessina_New FL Home.jpg

Summer Hogan_q8imea

So many beautiful trees in this post! I love them all! I also love palm trees, cherry blossoms, and weeping willows, but my favorite is still golden aspens! I love how the yellow leaves shimmer in the sunlight!

ronald.bergmann

All trees are awesome, but this might be my favourite

Monique vdB

@Summer Hogan as a Californian, any trees that change color amaze me! Wait, do these change color or are they always golden? 😆

Monique vdB

@Betty Messina I'm from Southern California and also have a very soft spot for palm trees! Especially sillhouetted at sunset on a warm summer night....

I recently visited Lal Bagh and saw this magnificent tree >250 years old, called Cotton Silk Tree. It is the largest known specimen of the species in the world, spreading across almost 2,000 square metres in width and 17 metres in height.

Monique vdB

Wow!!! That reminds me a bit of banyan trees in Hawaii, with the huge spreading trunk. Gorgeous.

@Monique vdByup, and some spare time

Jessica Zeng

I love the California redwoods! Redwood Regional Park 🌲🌲🌲😍

I'm also partial to snow-covered pine trees -- standing tall, they're so lovely and magical-looking. A few pictures I took (not in California):

All trees are wonderful!

Smoker's tree

Summer Hogan_q8imea

That's a great question @Monique vdB and you encouraged me to go read about this.

Aspens take their cue to change as the days get shorter in the fall. But color changes also depend on tree health, local weather, environmental factors like drought or increased moisture, elevation and latitude. Here's the science part: Every fall aspens turn vivid yellows, golds, oranges and reds. But most leaves aren’t adding a new look, instead they’re taking off their “masks” of green to expose their true shades. Those bright fall colors are always there, all summer remaining hidden by the green that’s created by chlorophyll production as the tree turns sunlight into food. As the days get shorter in the fall, photosynthesis decreases, causing chlorophyll levels to fade out of the leaves and reveal the bright colors.

So interesting!

Here's a story for all you who have never heard it:

Ten years ago this year 19 members of the Granite Mountain Hotshots perished in the Yarnell Hill Fire. The Granite Mountain hotshots were a wildland firefighting crew based in Prescott, Arizona and on June 30th, 2023 19 of the 20 crewmembers lost their lives. There is an Alligator Juniper tree in the Yarnell Hill forest that the hotshots saved before they perished. This Alligator Juniper is not only a memorial site for the hotshots, but also the largest of its species in the world! Some also say that this tree is the state's oldest living icon. The age of the tree differs between local folklore and scientific research. This is the tree!

Betty Messina

Gorgeous palm trees. I love that view in Southern Cali.

Monique vdB

@Summer Hogan You just BLEW MY MIND!!!! 🤯

Monique vdB

Wow, what a moving story.

Jessica Zeng

My first thought when I see these trees: "that would be fun to climb". And now I know what they're called!

Gillian_82l8zm

I love weeping willows! They feel so romantic and picturesque 😍

Gillian_82l8zm

@Jessica Zeng this is the ultimate climbing tree!

Hana Kučerová

Anybody here recognizing this one :-)?

Malka Jackson [Isos Technology]

As a Florida girl, I have always associated Crepe Myrtles with Summer. The colorful blooms stick around all season and at the end of the season the tree is cut back to the stump to allow it to regrow back to its full glory the next year. It is a wonderful tree for someone with ADHD because of how fast it grows. There is always new growth happening daily so you can watch it and keep up with it without growing bored. lol
