What zone does it thrive in?
Search says 5-11. Very cold hardy and thrive in the southern states and heat. Great shade trees and no joke, their growth is ultra fast. Google it. Great trees for property

Live Oak- mature trees are beautiful
Cherrybark Oak
White/Cow Oak-great tree for acorns and hunting
Sequoia/Redwood- absolutely awe inspiring in size
Dogwood- too bad a disease has almost wiped them from large parts of LA
Bald cypress- State Tree, nice pyramid shape, not for home landscapes due to knees
Hickory- another great tree for wildlife, pretty yellow foliage in fall
Satsuma
Least Favorite: Chinese Tallow, Sweetgum, Post Oak

Odd looking dogwood trees. I've never seen one with trunk/trunks like that.
This one looks more common to me.

Magnolia tripetala. Umbrella Magnolia.
They grow in abundance around our other house at the base of the Cumberland Plateau. They can form these groves and create a microclimate that makes that area of the forest seem like a misty, alien world. Amazingly beautiful trees. I was on a solo hike a few months back. I had ingested some fungal supplements. It started to rain, and I ended up sitting in one of those groves for a while just mesmerized by those trees.
Southern Live Oaks are cool, too.

The coolest looking trees I've seen are the oaks at Wormsloe Plantation near Savanna and the Boone Hall Plantation in Charleston.
Angel oak tree near Charleston, think its 300-400 years old.

On a regular sized lot in a residential neighborhood I like Elm, crape Myrtle, white oak and burr oak
On large lots 2 or more acres I like live oak, sycamore, bald cypress(if near water), loblolly or longleaf pine (edge of property only).
Not a big fan of magnolia trees. The gigantic thick leaves are not worth it.
