I really adore Lime Trees, part of that is because lime blossom tea is my favorite :D

I cannot, for the life of me, get my picture to post of my favorite tree. I resized it as low grain as possible and cropped it, then screen shot it...still won't post. It is simply a birch tree, a great big mother in front of my cabin. Sadly when they relocated my driveway, they dug out a portion of her roots, and she is now dying. It's also not a great season to show off her girth and beauty. But i wanted to share, my literal favorite tree.
I adore pōhutukawa, Metrosideros excelsa. Gorgeous colours, heavenly scent when it's in bloom, and the wrought branches and aerial roots give it such an evocative stance.
I'm also a fan of the wind-tortured gigantic Old Man Pine (Cupressus macrocarpa in particular).
