Region: South Pacific

Oh, that's a quite thorough poll (though there will inevitably be those who lament omissions). Forest, appropriately enough, had a similar poll awhile back, and I greatly enjoyed to hear people relay stories of their favorite trees -- whether that meant their favorite species of tree, or just their favorite individual trees they've known in their lives.

I believe my favorite tree is the birch. We had a small stand of them in our yard growing up, and I always found them fascinating. The color, the way the bark peeled away...and you can derive birch syrup and birch beer from them. Not entirely sure which species of birch they were, but I'd guess paper birch based off appearance and region.

They also look absolutely stunning if you come across a whole forest of them:

And please just take a moment to admire this breathtaking photo, which I can only assume is from a fairy forest:

I am fortunate enough to live in the "Flower City", and the sheer amount of flowering trees is just beautiful. Unfortunately they bloom around the time of the Lilac festival so you can't just appreciate them in solitude. Red maples are a close second for me.

I don't have a favourite tree, as such.... but I just love greens (whether they be trees or vegetables). 😍
