And why do you like it so much?
The walnut tree. Its leaves are dense so it casts a cohesive shadow, perfect for shelter from the sun. I LOVE how it smells, especially when developing walnuts, and green walnuts are entirely unique in how they taste!
Delonix regia, the original flamboyant.
Scots pine
The one that gives weed
Dollar
Ipê (common name), both the Handroanthus and Tabebuia kinds

I’m partial to AVL trees, they are 20% faster.

Scapegoat tree ftw
American Chestnut. Have a few seedlings we planted in the front yard. Super excited to be part of the process of restoring them
We have a big maple in our yard and more through the neighborhood. The sound of wind running through their leaves is very calming.
Number three…
The larch.
Being the most common tree in America doesn’t make the sycamore any less awesome.
They’re big and their canopy is lush. Their limbs are all twisty and knobbly. They’ve got huge leaves that sound amazing blowing in the wind or crunching underfoot. The colloquialism for their seedpods is hilarious and the pods themselves are almost as cool as sweetgum seed pods.
Just some great trees all around.
That shade
Delightful!
Araucaria species. Because of their shape. They are the best.
I also really really like Magnolia trees, the large grandiflora ones ( those with the large glossy leaves and white flowers). I mean the flowers are amazing, but the way their trunks develop in very large specimens is so good, those semi buttressed roots and aerial offshoots hanging down are crazy amazing.
So yeah, araucarias and magnolias.
