My favorite is the araucária popularly known as Paraná pine.

    Birch

    The white peeling bark looks beautiful in a summer forest, and it reminds me of the birch swamps of Belarus. The bark also burns in a way that pops and cackles, and that sound is part of very many fond memories.

    Live oaks are an easy tree to climb and relax on.

    Weeping willows have an ancient forest spirit vibe that I relate with. Weeping cherries for when I’m feeling pretty

    Also while technically not a tree, I have a special fondness for Yucca brevifolia (aka Joshua trees)

    Ginkgo biloba, it’s a living fossil, has some very interesting properties, and I really like the unique shape of its leaves.

    I love flora over fauna, plants never seize to amaze me with their diversity. Eucalyptus trees have a special place in my heart, to an extent that I sometimes dream of them haha

    Redwoods absorb water through their foliage because they’re too tall to efficiently carry water all the way up from the ground and I think that’s based as fuck

    I love the Eastern Hemlock, Tsuga canadensis. It’s an important part of Appalachian forests, and is threatened by climate change and an invasive insect.

    I quite like Nordmann fir also known as the Danish Christmas Tree. Good memories of being a kid, and putting decorations on them. Never a religious thing for us, just a nice little thing where me, my mom, and my grandma would do something together. With everything going on in the world I do cherish those childhood memories. I miss it to be honest, and hadn’t thought about that for a while, so thanks for reminding me comrade, I actually needed that.

    Aesthetically I love Sequoias, but I really love the Eucalyptus trees that grow near my house. They smell so good!

    Difficult decision, there are so many beautiful trees species. I think I prefere Liriodendron tulipifera
