And why do you like it so much?
Being the most common tree in America doesn’t make the sycamore any less awesome.
They’re big and their canopy is lush. Their limbs are all twisty and knobbly. They’ve got huge leaves that sound amazing blowing in the wind or crunching underfoot. The colloquialism for their seedpods is hilarious and the pods themselves are almost as cool as sweetgum seed pods.
Just some great trees all around.
Dark oak. I like how it looks, when processed.
Dollar
Number three…
The larch.
American Chestnut. Have a few seedlings we planted in the front yard. Super excited to be part of the process of restoring them
I love that you asked this question. I like trees I can climb :-)
Yew, so many are really old and have a mystical air to them.
Birch!
They’re just so beautiful!
People used to make all kinds of stuff from the bark, too
And from the wood. It’s a hardwood but it’s often used where softwoods would be. Baltic birch plywood is some excellent stuff.
Plus birch beer is awesome
Aspen. Having lived and vacationed in Colorado in the past made my wife and I fall in love with them for their color in the fall. We’ve traveled back just to see them.
Mango tree!! 🥭🌳
It’s big, it provides plenty of shades, it’s unassuming, and most importantly it has mangoes!!
This is a really great answer. Concise, listed, and checks all the boxes. Kudos.
So anyway, I love those dark maples with the leaves that are so blue they’re almost black in certain light. I call them goth maples.

Oh wow it’s about as close as you can get
Delonix regia, the original flamboyant.
The one that gives weed
I’m going to go with white oak. The wood is very versatile; it’s strong enough for load bearing furniture, it’s hard enough for tabletops, it steam bends quite nicely, it’s just a joy to work with, looks wonderful under an oil finish, and it lends a nice flavor to whiskey.
