One of my favorite trees (I have so many) is sweet olive. I love the smell of the tiny flowers.

My favorite trees are fruit trees — apple, cherry, pear — because they’re not only beautiful to look at, they produce so many tasty things!

Favorite trees are oaks…having lived on both coasts and places in between, I’ve seen so many varieties – glove-shaped leaves to holly-like leaves, rough bark to smooth. No matter where they grow, they are simply majestic and spiritual.

I love magnolia trees for their flowers and their excellent climb-ability. As a kid, I would climb up the magnolia tree in our backyard, find a perch, and read a book. It was my escape. So for nostalgia’s sake (and for good ol’ Southern pride), I have to say the magnolia tree.

Gosh, this is a tough question since there are so many fascinating ones. I love that a Ginkgo survived the atomic bomb in Japan (Hiroshima, I think it was?). That’s a remarkable living being to survive that.

I love the stunning magnolia’s that grace our spring here in MD. Not the summer blooming grandiflora but the smaller flowered ones (sorry, can’t remember the cultivar!).

But I guess Blue Atlas Cedars are my favorite. I know one that is several hundred years old and is a grandmother tree that is at least 15-16 feet around circumference and limbs that stretch out and up like trees within trees. That is my favorite all time tree. (sorry, can’t tell you where it is, private property of some gardening clients I have).

thanks for the oppty for the fun question.

My favorite tree? The cottonwood. I love to listen to the leaves rustle in the wind during summer.
