What tree would best describe your personality?
I would be a redwood, though I’m not tall and statuesque as they are. I’m kind of hard on the outside, but relatively soft and fragile on the inside. What about you?
Ah, the mimosa is a beautiful tree and was my husband’s favorite. Just beautiful.
Those willowy branches of the willow provide the most wonderful shade.
Love the bonsai and my father cultivates them.
And the smell of pine is a welcome relief as I climb into the mountains.
Wonderful choices so far.
Outta here for know. Keep the answers coming.

I’d like to think that I’m a willow. The reason that they last a long time is that they are able to bend and flow with the wind and elements.

Well my redwood friend….I don’t know why but I always loved a tree that my Great Grandmother had on her summer property and I have never seen one since it is called a Mimosa tree…I loved it because although it was in NY state it looked so beatiful and islandy …so I would be a Mimosa!…hey why would someone thumbsdown a mimosa…or me…did I say something wrong?

I’d be a Pine tree, I love the smell of pine and others get to benefit from my bearings, pine cones and straw!

Weeping willow, I have always been a "bleeding heart" and an easy touch.

I am a big strong jarrah tree (even though I am only a little person myself) and my timber can be polished to a brilliant deep glowing red. My tree has a lovely refreshing eucalypt smell.

A live oak tree. They hold their leaves all year and have strong branches that children can climb and hang swings on. They are beautiful in any landscape. Poppy

The eucalyptus. I spent my early years at my grandparent’s house among the citrus groves with these wonderful trees lined up to act as wind breaks to protect them. In my adult years when I moved to Orange County, California, these same trees were planted by the thousands for the same reason, to shield the groves. Most of them are gone now, but they are still my favorite.

For sure an American Holley. I would want to be the female with a male species close to keep me producing berrys. The tree is so majestic, beautiful, green year round

I think a mimosa. It just seems to fit my personality.

I probably would have to say that I feel like a Chinese Elm these days. I leave little bits & pieces of myself everywhere & have a never ending mess to deal with.

Coming from New England, I would be a maple tree. There is a stability to them, and their leaves are beautiful in the fall. Maple syrup is good also. My hubby is from Colorado, so he would be an aspen tree.

White Birch. Don’t know how it would describe my personality but I think they stand out beautifully and distinctly from other trees.

Unfortunately, I would be a spreading chestnut tree as in "under the spreading chestnut tree the village smithy stood…" lol

Fine question. I would like to say I’m an Oak for integrity and knowledge, but I’ll have to leave that judgement to others!

Not a tree, but like the brilliant red burning bush outside my window.
Changeable with the seasons, calm, steady with an underlying frisky nature.

I might be described as a hazelnut tree, strong, enduring and slightly nutty.

At this moment I’d have to say a Weeping Willow. Nothing went right for me today. I am sooo frustrated. Just one of those days…. 🙁

I choose a butternut tree. It’s endangered, it has many uses (food, dye, medicinal bark), it’s short and the nuts have a "pleasant flavor". A lot like me!

Mangrove tree. I love banyan trees but have not put down many roots so I don’t qualify for those but I’d love to live in one.

The might Oak—standing tall and proud—not bowed.
A mesquite tree it has so many little pricks protecting it
