What are your favorite trees and why?

Dogwood. I love the delicate white blooms in the woods in early spring.

Redbud. We have several on our place. They are a welcome splash of purple color in the early spring while the forest is still drab and gray.

Pear. Pear trees are the apple trees of the south. I love to can pears in a light syrup, they are so good.

Red Maple - I love the auburn color of the leaves.

Coconut - My parents had a coconut tree in the backyard of the old house we grew up in. It makes me think of home and tropical beaches.

Weeping Willow - I just love the look of it.

Hickory - I like the Shagbark Hickory, the barks look cool. We also like to harvest the bark to make shagbark hickory tea.

My favorite is the Southern Live Oak and the most fantastic one I have ever seen is on John's Island, SC (outside Charleston). The picture only shows 1/4 of the tree.
