    For me it is the English Oak, ancient Britons revered it as magical.

    American/Eastern RedBud. One of the first trees to bloom in the spring, providing nectar to bees and butterflies. Stand under one on a warm spring day, and the the buzzing of the sheer volume of bees is astounding.

    I had a stand of these on my property in Tennessee. It was always something that brought joy because you knew the winter was almost over.

    My practical "everyday" tree? The Eucalyptus tree. Growing up in So. Cal it was always my favorite tree. I love everything about it. From it's structure to it's bark to it's smell. Ironically it's an invasive species there.



    Favorite tree of all time? California Redwood.

I dont think there is another Jacaranda tree in the town I grew up in either so when it does bloom once a year its almost as if it is saying to you that it is the most beautiful thing here - and its right. Even when it is not in bloom I think it is a nice looking tree - I like the leaves because they remind me of leaves that might grow on a tree in a childrens dinosaur picture book.

    I do have some photos of my parents Jacaranda tree but they are not on this computer but -

    My second favourite tree is the Kurrajong tree. I actually own a Kurrajong tree/bottle tree because I bought a block of land recently and it has a very nice one on it. I think that a nice Kurrajong tree is a very clean looking tree. My Kurrajong tree has a nice straight light grey trunk with the green tinge they get - and the trunk has a slight bottle to it - it has the nice dark green Kurrajong leaves and its pretty big. Im no Kurrajong tree expert but the ones with the big fat bottle trunk are ugly - mine is the good type.

    Another tree that I own is a Peppercorn tree. There are a lot of Peppercorn trees in the area I live and I have always thought that they are the ugliest trees. They always have the ugliest gangly looking trunks and the branches always seem to grow in a gangled kind of way. And I hate the way the leaves hang. I guess I will just have to learn to like it. Maybe trim it a bit and grow something around the trunk maybe.

    I have a few other small trees but I dont know what kind they are - the two worth mentioning are the Kurrajong and Peppercorn trees. Its a decent size block so I want to plant a heap of trees on it and I have been thinking about what kind. A Jacaranda tree takes a pretty long time to mature but apparently one that is planted from cuttings can bloom in 5-7 years which isnt too bad I guess so I will probably plant at least one of them. But I want fast growing trees so I have been thinking about going with some Eucalyptus because they are native and they grow really fast. I also like them.

    Do you like trees? Do you have a favourite tree?

    What would you plant for a feature tree?

    Got any ideas for fence line trees that suit a dry area?



    That is beautiful. I don't believe I have ever seen one.
