Here's the famous "Wawona-drive-through-tree". But it fell in the winter of '69 because of a heavy snow load.

And here's an African baobob tree. Pretty unusual!

The famous "Tule-tree" in Oaxaca Mexico is BIG!! It's supposed to be around 3000 years old!

And these "dragon" trees look like something out of another world!

Here's a video about the sacred baobob tree (Which you're undoubtedly familiar with if you've see the "Lion King")

I would be a cypress tree as I love to be near the water.

The drive through redwood tree fell, I drove through that as kid with my parents and hoped I might get to do it with my kids, now that they are grown I was hoping I would get the money to take my future grandkids there someday, sad.

If there's a sarcastic tree, I would be that one... preferably one that was pedantic.

I can't post pictures, but...


I'd be a live oak. I love live oak trees. They're so beautiful!

If vee were a tree - that sounds so melodious.

If I were a tree I would be a 'nun tree'
