    mimosa of course!! Actually I love all trees. Have you ever noticed how every tree is different just like all humans are different. Regardless of species, every one is unique. that means something to me.

    edit: went to look up those bristlecone pines, very fascinating and great 360's here http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/methuselah/expl_grove.html

    In the Ray Milland movie The Uninvited, whenever the spirit would enter the room, it would be filled with the scent of Mimosa. That 360 was cool. Thanks for that link mimosa!

    i think ive hugged a tree in my life, but when i was little haha. my favorite trees are the big pines, mostly in cali. the sugar pines and the ponderosa pines (sp?) i love them!! i have a few pine cones from ponerosa pines and they are huge. not like what we have here in illinois. and a little pine was growing in my front yard, and i noticed it a few years ago, and my dad told me to pull it out because he didnt want a tree there. and i didnt i told him its my tree and im ganna let it grow. but if he is going to pull it out, i would just dig it up and plant it in a forest somewhere so it can still grow. peace~

    i love trees and don't believe in cutting any down for christmas time. i always buy a living tree and then plant it in my yards or give it to a friend to plant in theirs. it's wonderful to watch them grow and think of the christmas's each one represents

    Though not really trees, I am a fanatic about walking in my back yard and caressing with my hand my 3 1/2" plus diameter bamboo that tower over thirty five feet tall. Especially this time of year when everything else is brown and dad but the boo is as green as ever. I just love bamboo...and all tress too.

    I hug trees! I love Eucalyptus Trees. They look beautiful silohuetted against the sky at sunset. Weeping Willows are pretty as well. All trees are beautiful people!

    That trips me too. Some of the trees in my back yard have been around since the pioneers came to Ohio in covered wagons. Their ancestors were likely cut down and used to build the first homes here. I look at the seedlings and hope they will live to see a better world in their maturity.


    Weeping willows seem to be the most popular. I like them and evergreens for the fact they don't litter the yard with their leaves every year. Love trees, hate leaves. Dead leaves anyway. I love spring and summer, when all the trees are green and full. Some like autumn for the colors, to me it just means cold weather is on it's way.

    We have a big walnut tree at the side of our house, well, trailer. It's so beautiful during the first part of the year, but then the season changes and the metal roof is bombarded by falling walnuts. Sometimes they fall so fast it sounds like thunder. And if the wind dies for a moment, we hear the pitter patter of little squirrel paws. It's cool to sit in the side yard and enjoy the fresh walnuts on a warm day, not so much fun to walk through a driveway polluted with walnuts, making like the crooks on Home Alone walking on the marble-strewn floor. Wonder I ain't broke both my wrists. I have broke my as.. buns a few times.

    To be honest I've never hugged a tree, nor worshiped one, but I respect them, and hold them in awe. Trees are without a doubt a natural wonder.

    My favorite kind of tree is called the arbutus tree. It grows on the west coast. I think Americans call the madrones. They look straight out of Africa or something but here they are in Canada.

    I never heard of that tree before. I looked up some pics of it on google. Pretty. I have an African tree in front of my house. In fact my whole street is planted with them. It's called a Jacaranda tree. In the spring it gets covered with beautiful purple flowers. I hated it when I was little, cause I had to rake them up. But I appreciate them now.

    Ooooh.....I've seen those purple blossom trees in Mexcio. They're beautiful! Prolly one of my faves too. Purple is definitly my fave colour. Yeah I think the arbutus trees are more in Washington, Oregon and maybe Northern Cali....and B.C.

    I just love trees. They make me feel calm and safe. They are so old and big, and I think they know a lot, much more then people.
    My favourite one is pine tree,because they remind me of a summer camp.
    Weve got huuuuge English walnut in the garden. Man,its such a great feeling to touch it, to rest near it. I spent soo much time last summer just being near it and watching it. :)
