Most of us respond to the presence of trees beyond simply observing their beauty. We feel serene, peaceful, restful, and tranquil in a grove of trees. Are many people who say that one tree have so much energy, of course and a lot of natural benefits, but if you are sad or angry, and keep your hands on one tree, you can choice a strong, old and big tree, you can take from this tree energy...and is true, i try it many times; If i can choice i want to be a oak, i like so much this tree, i have a lot in forests who are around my house, and are really as kings. big, serious(i can say this?)sometimes in the autumn, when is wind, i listen this old treed sound; is great; so, i want to be a oak, if i can. What tree do you like more and why?

Mango trees look like brocolli but in humongous size hehehe. their trunk is really massive. It expands horizontally rather than vertically. Philippine mangoes have many varieties. I believe ours in among the best mangoes in the whole world. This year, i packed dried mangoes to my chatmate indians and pakistanis. they love it!

It would have to be an olive tree as I'm surrounded by them and love to see them daily, plus some of them are even centuries old. I think I would prefer to be an oil producing olive tree than an eating olive tree. When it is windy my branches would sway in a silvery wave and I'd be responsible for providing the oil which is the backbone of the country.

I would be kauri tree. Now sparse to new zealand was once a massive strong tree the settlers used to make masts for their ships. I would be this tree as it can grow massive and looks majestic in the new zealand forests. Some Kauri trees are meters in diameter. The kauri tree may not be the prettiest tree but it is definitely the coolest.

Yes trees are a beauty!! They bring freshness and coolness into the atmosphere. If I had to be a tree, I would be a 'banyan'tree here in my country. The banyan streaches its roots from the branches and multiplies into a huge big tree. I think I saw the biggest banyan in New Delhi. It was massive. So I would like to be a banyan tree.

If I could be a tree, i think I would be a maple tree. As a Canadian, maple trees are very special to me (as you can see from my Canadian flag) not to mention maple trees produce yummy sap to be made into yummy syrup. Yeah, I would definitely be a maple tree. Interesting question!!

I think I'd like to be a Christmas tree. Just look at it, once a year I'd be more important than a person even. And I'd get all costumized by different people. I'm already shaking at the prospect of having all of those hands touching me even ;O

If i was a tree i would love to be a mustard tree.Because it grows in any kind of soil.Also the small seed grows into such a big tree that it gives shade to the people.There will be birds chirping on it and making nests.I would not like to be a tree with flowers as there will be bees coming and stinging me.Happy mylotting and wishing you a Happy New Year 2010.

trees that have pretty colors. in spring, pretty flowers bloom on it. in fall, it has multicolored leaves, in summer, it is very green. and in winter, it usually have a nice shape or structure, although it might not have much leaves or any at all. as the seasons change, you can watch it change too, and admire it beauty in all seasons.

I love the sicamore tree. I probably spelled that wrong but oh well. I love this tree because when I was a little girl I would always pull off the bark. If you've never seen one before the bark feels off in every which way. And when you peel it off it becomes a different color. But then it will turn into that bark again. I would be this tree because it reminds me of my childhood and it's also very pretty

I don't particularly know the name of the tree. But one of the common tree in our country is "Narra" tree. This is the national tree in our country that preserve by the government. This is really wonderful because this tree is being consider as gold in our country...I think this my choice to become with. Because of it's wonderful historical value but also being one of the wealth of our country...

I also like trees a lot, icesmile. I like to gaze at trees and note the differences in them. They are truly majestic. If I could be a tree I would like to be a weeping willow. I say this because the weeping willow is very graceful and somehow sad, like I often am.

That's a tough question. My first thought was to be a cherry tree because they are so pretty when they blossom. But, now that I consider it more, I think I would want to be some type of evergreen so that I am pretty all year long. I like douglas fir trees. I would just have to make sure that no one comes along and chops me down for Christmas!

A pine tree so I would poke people who tried to bother me. Nay just kidding I think it would not matter but I would like to be a beautiful and full shade tree. There is so much excitement that goes on under a shade tree. Usually all happy things. Kids playing, family picnics, a couple on their first date, or a woman getting proposed to. I think I would really enjoy being involved in those happy events.

I am from Malaysia and so the tree I want to be is a durian tree. Every season, I will produce the best fruits for Malaysians to enjoy. Off season, I may also fruit but I will cost more in the market. A durian tree is majestic with durians abound on its branches. It is a sight for sore eyes,longing taste buds and hungry stomachs too. too.

Hello Trees are beautiful I do agree, but I will not get close to them because they house squirrels and I really dislike these little rodents, this is why I don't spend much time in parks because of my fear I love trees but hate squirrels guess the squirrels take away any joy I can get from trees. beside looking from a distance. Thanks you.
