Good Looking Trees
Y’all have trees you would just love to have in your front yard? (Weather no issue, let’s say it grows wherever your at)
I was recently in Monterrey, California and one tree that’s common there is the Cypruss https://calscape.com/ExtData/allimages/Photos/Cupressus_macrocarpa_image56.jpg
I fucking love those things. I would put them all over my block if I could get away with it.
Also I do really like looking at those Mexican Fan Palm trees (think Hollywood the real tall ones) I think when they line the streets that’s looks so sharp. All those out there are about a century old. They aren’t even native to LA but in the 20’s folks wanted Los Angeles to have biblical feel so they planted them. I think that was good foresight came out to be iconic of that state https://www.arcgis.com/sharing/rest/content/items/ee006d29391f4f3db9774ef4e3e7007d/info/thumbnail/ago_downloaded.jpg?w=800
Honorable mention to those Oak Trees with Spanish moss you find in Savanah, Georgia. https://innonwestliberty.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/wormsloe-plantation-1024x684.jpg
How about y’all out there?

Muddy, Trees don't really do it for me, but everyone has their own kinks, so here you go.
