Most people know mine by the e-mail adress, have always marveled at the splendor of the Ulmus Americana - American Elm, for it's beautiful canopy. Darned Dutch Elm Disease has ruined what is truly a marvelous tree, that was indigenous to this country.

Wild apple trees, my entire hillside is loaded with them, many are good for eating.

Pear Trees - have 2 that produced so many this year I could not possibly eat, give away or store the fruit.

All the indigenous pine variety's.

I am very selective about cutting trees down, sometimes it has to be done, but they just take so long to grow, the hill next to my house was part of a large field, let overgrown for probably 30 years, the cherry trees that have come up are unreal, there is a nice crop of logs here, for future reference, however, if one were to clear the brush, and leave the trees, it will be one beautiful hillside.

Shag Bark Hickory gets my vote too.

I like em all, always been fascinated by trees, have even climbed up 60 feet to make a crows nest deer stand, in an old cherry, like the view from there.
