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.

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

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)

I don’t have a favourite but my least favourite is birch bc I’m allergic to their pollen

BAOBAB

Ficus solely because biking under their shade feels like a dream

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.

Mango trees. For the mangoes.

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

also new acc what up comrades I’m here to hang out from hexbear ✌️

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

Monkey puzzle and sequoia

Spruce my beloved

Sequoias!

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