Aside from redwoods, what trees of America would you say are the most beautiful?
It doesn’t have to be one of Americas 680 native trees and can be a naturalized tree, or in other words an introduced tree that now grows on its own and thrives in the wild over here. Weeping Willows perhaps? Do you have a link with a picture of your tree selection?

I like oak trees. They are big and beautiful also, and their leaves are awesome colors in the fall.

The American Chestnust is the most beautiful tree that ever grew in the US.

There is a big sycamore in the town where I live that is very impressive. Maybe I will take a picture of it.

An Apple Tree is my favorite, you can’t beat those beautiful white flowers in the spring and then those tasty apples in the Summer.
I think the Flowering Dogwood(Cornus florida) is beautiful. Most of the dogwoods are very beautiful, but I find these to be especially showy. They can have pink or white flowers in the spring. They also have 4 seasons of interest, the beautiful flowers in the spring, a pretty fruit in the summer, awesome fall color, and interesting bark for the winter.
