My favorite tree is a birch tree. In my country they grow wild making natural valleys on the high ways. On the fall birch leaves turn in red, yellow and orange colors, it looks wonderful! I also like a birch-bark because it stays white all seasons. At my country we have heaps of birch young forest stands and also ten-year-old birch trees which stretch up to 10-15 meters. The birch juice is fantastic!

Spalldalino, I have to agree with you about the palm trees! I grew up in Delaware and always dreamed of a place near the water with palm trees. Now I live in Mexico and there are palm trees everywhere. I never knew there were so many kinds, Royal Palm, Coconut Palm, Fan Palms, Fishtails and so any more. If I had to pick a favorite palm it would definitly be the Coconut.

My favorite tree is the palm tree. I live in Florida and I miss them when I go back up north to visit. Seeing them again makes me feel peaceful again. When we first moved down here I told my husband that my only stipulation when it came to the house that we bought was that it had at least one palm tree. That's what we have..a real big one.

Birch is my favorite too. I love the white bark. It's such a classic beauty as you're driving down the road. I loathe cedar. I just hate all those branches sticking out everywhere. When we have to cut a cedar down, it's so hard getting all those branches out of the way. Then burning it, you have to be really careful. If you put more than one log in a woodstove, it can get terribly hot.
