What's your favorite tree to work on / look at?

[janey]

I have far, far too many favourite trees to have just one!

 

Deodar, Betula albosinensis , Pinus patula, Malus trilobata (sorry, the English names escapes me for the moment), Brewers spruce... They're all in my ever changing top ten.

 

The birch has the most attractive, peeling, multi toned bark ever.

spruce, nice and straight foward no messing about!

can't beat swinging round a big beech tree. Have a huge one to take down tomorrow as it happens, which reminds me, must get the video camera on charge

beech all day long very easy to climb and work on, but at the same time they are amazing looking trees

To look at... Awesome 500 year old oak in a little village last year we got the pleasure of seeing, and it may even be older than that! to work on.. anything that doesnt produce thorns or spikes that do your head in for the rest of the day!

To work on.. Leylandi because you dont feel guilty what ever you do to them.

 

To look at.. one of them would be Gleditsia, when they get big they are very pretty.

To look at..... Liriodendron tulipifera ... i love the leaves especially back lit with sunlight!!

 

To work on..... Acer pseudoplatanus ... great for snap and hold take downs, and the timber can be cut really easily when chogging down with the 46!!
