I like a big copper beech. I climb in shorts most of the year and the knees don t get tore up so much. I am just in awe of their beauty as a mature tree.
What is your favorite tree or trees ?

Ha ha! Apt descriptions of Oaks and Trees-of-heaven, Adam.
Gotta say it's between a Sugar Maple and the Burr Oak for me. Though the American Beech is a very close third (or second).
how you recognized them, Chucky? Oak I can understand, touring private golf courses is quite common among tree climbers, we have to spend all that money we make one way or another, but what you were doing in the hoods where Ailanthus thrive? Don't answere, it was a rethoric question.
Cedrus libani and american elm - majestic, beech - fun to climb, redbud - cute

Ailanthus thrives quite well in the woods too, unfortunately.
Unfortunately?

If you've ever been to the Arnold Arboretum, you'll know what OTG Boston's talking about.

I like all hardwoods but am really fond of the paw paw,
the banana it produces is very tasty. I'm also fond of the American
chestnut though almost extinct. Kentucky coffee tree is cool too
and I like all trees especially dogwood when flowering i'm turkey

What a great tree . A lot of people dont know that they are native to my area (ohio).The tree has great foliage ,cool flowers ,and great tasting fruit . You cant say that about too many trees.

I second that. Has to be in a hammock though so that it grows all crazy. I really like when live oaks get pushed over by storms too (and survive). They look like they're lounging.
Hey homeowners
this would a great thread for homeowners to help pick out there next tree to plant .I would suggest all of the tree that people have said are there favorites except the tree of heaven I think it is consider a pest in Ohio . A few of these trees such as paw paw Asimina triloba and the eastern redbud Cercis canadensis are really good understory trees ,that would do good on a woods edge .Cercis chinensis is pretty cool smaller redbud that is supposed to only hardy to zone 6 but I have had good luck at zone 5.

Yep they don't call the sick-a-more for nothing. They make your nose run and your eyes water.
