Marit ^_^  | 9 comments My favorite trees are.... Ginkgos, Redwoods, Honey Locusts, Birches, and Cherry blossom trees.

I like pretty much any climbing tree that looks good enough to climb.

Katie  | 7 comments Yeah same here, i like climbing trees. I like apple trees, not because they grow apples, but because when they have lost all of their apples, they make cool shapes. It's amusing while driving by a 5 acre apple tree yardish thing.

Katie  | 7 comments O YEAH!! I loved the willow trees at my cousin's house, when i was younger. They had a ditch by the trees and we would swing right over the ditch and onto the road! Yeah, great times!

Marit ^_^  | 9 comments I can't beleive I forgot about willow trees!!!!!
they have been my favorite tree since kindergarden!

As Amber said, yes I do like plants that create vines, like the great vein , and also we have one plant at home (that is about 50 years old but I forgot what it is called) has vines that go all the way up the plant stand. This year it has just suddenly started blooming flowers, which is very bizzare, because it only bloomed for my great grandmother, so we must have made it very happy! The flower secretes this sticky goo that has a very strong scent, that you can smell all the way across the room. It has bloomed about 40 times this past year in 8 spots! That's more than 300 times, in one year! As some of you may already do, I talk to ALL my plants, to tell them how beautiful they are and so that they will grow better.

Tom Mueller | 5 comments I have a monster Live Oak in my backyard that's probably close to 300 years old. "Grandfather Oak" influenced my purchase of the home, which my daughter loves to climb. She'll disappear high up - with a book - for hours on end.

Emily I love flipping through the book Ancient Trees: Trees That Live for 1,000 Years periodically. Makes me feel really awed and still and peaceful.
