Do you have a favorite tree?

Post by Lorainia Riverrider »

Do you have a favorite tree? It may be a type of tree (like maple or poplar) or a tree from a show or movie (like the Womping Willow of Grandmother Willow).

My favorite tree is the weeping willow. I have some growing around my cattle pond. I think they are beautiful and they provide a nice shade a hot summer days.

I really like red maple trees a lot. We had a Japanese red maple at my childhood home's yard. I also really, really like magnolia trees. We also had one of those in my yard.

To be quite honest, I really like the look of a lot of trees but those two are my favorites in real life.

Now in Minecraft, my favorite tree to build with is the dark oak and the birch. I like the contrast of the colors. With Cherry Blossoms being added in the new 1.20 update, I know for sure my houses from now on are going to be Neapolitan ice cream colors since we will have an actually pink pink color and not the orange-y pink the jungle wood is.

I suppose since I love pine forests my favourite tree would be pine. There are so many types of pine trees, I couldn't pick just one, however I love the large ones that grow on the west coast of North America. I also love the ones you can harvest yourself for Christmas trees on Christmas tree farms.

I love most trees but my favourites would have to be big climbable trees that provide loads of shade like oak, elm etc. I don't know many names. I also love bright trees that have interesting leaves and turn many beautiful colours ranging from orange, yellow, light and dark green, pink, etc. They stand out to me a lot. Especially if they have ash coloured bark and these bright leaves.

My favorite tree might be a banyan tree because it stands strong and sturdy for long years. My favorite tree might be a mango tree, because I love the delicious fruit that it provides and I truly like the shape of its leaves. My favorite tree might also be the Christmas tree because it is evergreen and always green with fresh leaves, is associated with a cool festival, and has a beautiful conical shape. It might also be the yew tree, because it ties in with regeneration, new cycles of life, and new beginnings, with the message about change being the only constant, spread.

My favourite tree is the Cherry Blossom. I think it looks just absolutely beautiful, especially when fully in bloom. Would love to have my own Cherry tree at some point in the future.

I love spruce trees. They're so pretty and it's a lovely sight when they're covered in snow.

They're also incredibly useful. They have little buds growing on them during certain times of year and they can be made into syrup. This syrup can be drank like juice if you mix it with water or if you take it with a spoon, it can soothe a sore throat.

I even like the smell, especially if it's made into an essential oil. It really freshens up the air in the room.

I very well do indeed have a favorite tree. A shady banyan anyway. The canopy size is so perfect, you can literally have a whole tea party underneath it. And if anyone asked me where I would hide my things if I had to, I would say, in the branches of a banyan tree, of course. These life savers are found in so many places, and if you go to rural areas, you will see them at the centers of the main town/country hub. And you will also see people chatting and telling stories underneath it.

Cherry blossom trees are also my favourite. I really hope to get the opportunity to see one in full bloom.

I also like jacaranda trees, particularly the purple flowers, and palm trees.
