The white peeling bark looks beautiful in a summer forest, and it reminds me of the birch swamps of Belarus. The bark also burns in a way that pops and cackles, and that sound is part of very many fond memories.
I love flora over fauna, plants never seize to amaze me with their diversity. Eucalyptus trees have a special place in my heart, to an extent that I sometimes dream of them haha
Redwoods absorb water through their foliage because they're too tall to efficiently carry water all the way up from the ground and I think that's based as fuck
also new acc what up comrades I'm here to hang out from hexbear ✌️
I love the Eastern Hemlock, Tsuga canadensis. It's an important part of Appalachian forests, and is threatened by climate change and an invasive insect.
I quite like Nordmann fir also known as the Danish Christmas Tree. Good memories of being a kid, and putting decorations on them. Never a religious thing for us, just a nice little thing where me, my mom, and my grandma would do something together. With everything going on in the world I do cherish those childhood memories. I miss it to be honest, and hadn't thought about that for a while, so thanks for reminding me comrade, I actually needed that.
My favourite is the birch, but I also like oaks, as they can be very majestic and give shelter to a lot of different species, and chestnut trees, because of their fruit.
I love birches. When I was little I survived an overnight camp primarily on birch bark, and I’ve been wanting access to decent quantities of it since. Last year I finally got to planting multiple Black and Yellow birches.
Huge trees and their seed gets spread very interestingly, it grows this fruit and when it blooms it turns into cotton with the seed in the very middle. Since it's so light it gets blown with the wind and thus it spreads the seed. Also they're huge trees.
