I do love a live oak. There’s just nothing like em.

My favorite are probably Aspen trees. I never feel more at ease than at a cabin up in the Rockies watching the leaves change. Life doesn’t get any better IMO. Especially when you’re up there knowing it’s still hot as hell back in Louisiana.

I love pecans but I hate a Pecan tree. I’ve picked up enough Pecan sticks for multiple lifetimes. They were everywhere growing up and made such a mess. My dad would get mad if we hit them with the lawn mower. Same with Magnolias and those stupid cones.

Mulberry - don't know how many times I've pulled truck over after seeing a mulberry tree and eaten my fill. In Fort Worth, Miami, Opelousas, and many other cities.

Sugar Maple - Sugar Creek in Claiborne Parish use to be my favorite spot on earth.

Paw paw - love seeing them in woods, have some here at home.

Are you, by chance, afraid of Cape Fear?

Underwhelmed with Cape Disappointment?

Think something is fishy about Cape Cod?

Optimistic at the Cape of Good Hope or Cape May?

All eyes when at Cape Lookout?

Crepe myrtles are the worst damn tree on the planet...just a gigantic mess of a "tree"

Oaks are the best... just slightly above magnolias

Gotta be magnolia. I spent most of my youth climbing and playing in the massive magnolia tree in my grandma’s front yard.

As someone who has 11 of these frickers on their property and a wife who refuses to let them be removed, all requiring pruning every year….frick these trees.

couple of my least favorite.
Pin Oak is on my shite list today. Had an apparently healthy one just blow over this morning in the storm. Didn’t hit anything but my two new citrus trees, but it has been a PITA to clean up today. Love splitting them for firewood, but they are not great trees for long-term enjoyment. Case in point: The one that fell over today was surrounded by 3 other pin oaks, all of which are dead. Of course, they’re still standing, and the “healthy” one is gone. It seems like they get to about 40 years old and promptly give up on living.

Red Oak for firewood and deer acorns.

Maple for a fire show in the fall.

Giant Sequoias because they’re amazing.
