If you were a tree...

[Doug Tait]

What tree would you be?

 

Was asked this very question this morning by a customer. It didn't take long to come to the conclusion I'd be a Birch.

 

I like to get somewhere before the masses arrive but don't stay long once they have, I'm really happiest when it's just me and a few of my kind. I'm not especially big or dramatic, but then I'm rarely offensive.

The oh disagrees, she thinks I'm a bit scruffy, can get very prickly and as I grow older I get more dense. She says I'm a Holly.

 

So I'm definitely Birch, but what tree would you be?

[AHPP]

Eucalyptus. I smell good.

[scbk]

This feels like the sort of question you'd get on the old Blind Date!

 

 

 

I would be Sitka Spruce.

Not very popular, but quietly practical.

I'd love to say something like a wise old oak tree watching the world pass me by like the robin hood tree.

 

But, it's probably more likely to be an Ash tree with a touch of die back ?.

Monkey puzzle. Ugly and shit to work with.

[Stephen Blair]

Not sure about me but I’ve worked with a few Hawthorns over the years.

A bitter old plum…

[Clutchy]

A Lombardy poplar - Tall, lanky and with poor bone density 

 

Just kidding, I'm pretty short. 

 

I'm more like a female Ginkgo - I smell like shit

Acacia, spiky, difficult to kill, awkward, quite useful in many ways, but smells of piss.

[Blackbriarwoods]

I'd love to be a big evergreen oak, solid, and impressive.

 

But coming from Norfolk I'm more like a scraggy old sallow, annoying, all over the place and usually up to my knees in water and shitty, smelly bog mud
