Top tier choice, however I will counter with real American Chestnut. Have a stand hidden and growing near me. Absolute units and the nuts are super tasty. Shame what happened.
On psychedelics.
Eucalyptus trees due to how twisted and gangly they are which looks wild on psychs.
For Ancient epicness
Redwoods and Mountain Ash Regnans
For prettiness
Oak, Ginko, Cherry Blossom.
The benefits of Sweetgum are many: >Hard wood >Has leaves that change color seasonally >Beautiful bark >Seed pods are demonic spike-balls >Dogs love to pick up the seed pods and bring them to camp >You step on the seed pod, its spikes drive through your minimalist trail runner, you blasphemously scream toward the heavens >Enjoy limping back to the trailhead anon >Single tree can have like 5 different leaf colors in fall >Smells nice. Sweet actually. >You can throw the seed pods at people to spike them >Grows to about 75 feet only, so not too big not too small
I enjoy bald cypress trees, especially this time of year they make these green balls that are their seed. They’re like mini tennis balls, plus they smell really nice.
European aspen is my favourite, where I am from it was thought of as a spooky spirit tree because it flutters and shimmers in the lightest of winds when other trees look still. It's kind of uncommon now so when you find some it feels nice to see. Striking in the autumn too.
I agree, those mossy/ferny stream areas are so beautiful. Hemlocks as well. They are quite a unique tree where I live. Its a shame a lot of them are getting infested with hemlock scale.
i'm really lucky to have a large stand of Hemlocks still remaining in my state, a few of them old growth. They seem to focus more on the wooly adelgid problem here.. I don't think they're doing a very good job approaching the issue unfortunately.
I knew I'd find hemlock. Stepping into a hemlock grove is like stumbling into another world. The temp drops about 10 degrees, the light is 75% filtered, and the species under it change quite drastically.
I'm partial to the Colorado Pine AKA Blue Pine myself. The contrast between the silvery-blue needles and the red-orange stalks really does it for me aesthetically.
>Grow tall >Distinct leaf shape >Broad leaves form a great high canopy >Undergrowth is usually just other young maple, gives an expansive view of the landscape >Delicious syrup >Best autumn colors
Nothing beats an autumn hike though preserved big woods maple forest.
I'm partial to sequoias/metasequoias and taxodium. Probably because they look so exotic compared to the usual pines/palms that grow in my more dry environment. Still pines and palms are cool too
absolutely not, cottonwoods are fricking awful come summer
lodgepole pine is a solid choice, it grows straight, and burns clean. solid for building, firewood, and while not the prettiest tree they aren't ugly. lots of lodgepole in a natural forest is actually quite serene
I grew up in North Texas, so I'm biased. But I have a deep seated love for the post oak. Brown, gnarly, wizened post oak. Makes wonderful food, looks spooky in the fall through campfire light. Drought tolerant. I'm ashamed DFW has been allowed to get so big and tear to much of the old forest out. I used to be 30 minutes out of the metro as a kid, now I'm right on its doorstep.
>What's the best tree
Oh boy am I glad you asked this question take a seat and let me tell you about the great mighty American fricking chestnut.
The American Chestnut grew all up and down this b***h that we call the United States of America this tree was the Cadillac of trees right. This tree produced asinine amounts of chestnuts the deer loved it the birds loved it hell America could even export their chestnuts. In fact our chestnuts were so fricking good that we were renown across the world for our nuts That's right the entire world wanted America's nuts in their mouth.
But wait there's more just like Billy Mays this tree wasn't done. Not only did this thing make a lot of nuts it's wood was like the best wood out there. Because it was hard as hell and on top of that it was super rot resistant If you built a house with this that thing wasn't going anywhere for a century you wanted to make furniture? Let me tell you how great American chestnut wood was at making furniture It was amazing.
This tree grew all up and down the eastern side of the US and things were great until the goddamn fricking Chinese got involved. Like everything else good in the world bug eyes ruin it. Some butthole probably one of ~~*them*~~ decided that he wanted to make a profit off of this thing. So what they did was they brought over some shitty Chinese chestnut trees these things shot up like weeds and grew super fast however their nuts sucked and their wood was awful.The idea was they would cross breed them. With the goal being the strength and mighty nuts of the great American chestnut with the super fast growing of the Chinese chestnut. Well that one over like a fart in church and worse yet they brought over a blight a blight that was so bad it killed over 90% of the American chestnut trees in the US. Thankfully there are some really great people out there that are working to restore the might of the great American chestnut tree It is a slow going process but maybe someday...
anything broadleaf really
you can't get that dense, closed canopy "forest cathedral" feel with coniferous trees.
>the stock image poster
hmm
shh, stop larping as a schizo
>the troony janny
He literally just goes and sits in an AirBnB and lies about going outside
>Pine
...there are 120 species of pine anon...
Big Leaf Maple, Black Cottonwood and Madrone are awesome as frick anon.
These are pretty awesome. Laeches in general are pimp.
Coastal Redwood or old growth Doug Fir. Red cedar is pretty fricking amazing though
I see you’ve never been to the Olympic Peninsula.
Or the redwoods
strawberry guava cause those things are addictive and i like the look of them but im quite partial to myrtles for the aesthetic, that or grey gums cause thats what i grew up around. hate how sticky freshly cut pines are.
bradford pear trees. my botanist friend told me they called them "bad pussy trees" in school.
Frick those Black person trees

I fricking love oak, fellow sigma. Honorable mention to beech, also based
White pine is the king of all trees
Top tier choice, however I will counter with real American Chestnut. Have a stand hidden and growing near me. Absolute units and the nuts are super tasty. Shame what happened.
where are you located? in their native range somewhere? definitely a shame
Pics or gtfo
>shagbark hickory
Tamarack because it said frick it I'm both coniferous and deciduous. Plus it turns an epic yellow.
It's also very soft and "friendly" for a coniferous.
Gympie-gympie.
If it was up to me the borders of my property would be lined with them
Ash because strong but light
On psychedelics.
Eucalyptus trees due to how twisted and gangly they are which looks wild on psychs.

Oak, Ginko, Cherry Blossom.
Lord of the rings trees.
That's a huge ass snake!
Chad Eucalyptus enjoyer. Try the Eucalyptus Deglupta or the Eucalyptus Alba (white gums). I don't care that they are invasive to my region
i gotta ask, how shopped is this image? are they really this vivd or is this blasted to hell in lightroom?
see above
cherry.

I love willows. Used to chop them as a kid in Draynor.
(Yew)

Going with Pine as well, the smell is just comfy.
wollemi because it's neato
Giant Sequoia. They're monsters.
Sweetgum. All else is folly.

They also grow funny knees around water
Ma homie!

I like Eastern Hemlocks because they tend to be down near streams with lots of mosses, ferns, mushrooms, and brook trout around

Desert ironwood.
misread as Desert inawoods.

The strangler figs will always be the coolest
Mesquite.
Because they dont give a frick.
I like cedars.

Maple.

probably junipers
each of them are pretty distinct and easy to name
The live oak is my personal favorite. Very architectural and magnificent.
bump
I like juniper, for it's berries, it's smell, it's beauty and it's resilience.
Love me gin simple as
Cottonwoods are so beautiful looking and have the most amazing sounds in the wind. Big oaks are my favorite as well.
absolutely not, cottonwoods are fricking awful come summer
lodgepole pine is a solid choice, it grows straight, and burns clean. solid for building, firewood, and while not the prettiest tree they aren't ugly. lots of lodgepole in a natural forest is actually quite serene
>NO BIRCH IN WHOLE THREAD
Nothing better than a mountain aspen grove in fall
Persian silk tree is very beautiful. It has nice looking flowers and super attractive leaves that fold closed at night and open at daylight.
Kameeldoring
t. Afrikaner
I hate pine because they make terrible spots to sleep on they are pokey and sticky.
>doesn't make a pile of pine needles and trow a tarp over it for a bed
You're doing it wrong

Forgot a pic. Google because I don't wanna show you my house.
>I don't wanna show you my house.
Well frick you to I didn't wanna come over and go PrepHole with you either!
PrepHole group PrepHoleing when? We can banter about tree types and coastal superiority.
tbh it would be hard to do it.
1. not many of us
2. We are all plastered over the world from Canada and the US to Europe and other weird places.
We tend to be very spread out tbh.
Has anything good ever come out of PrepHoleners coming together?
Probably stopped a school shooting or two
We found Shia LaBeouf
the smell would scare away the wildlife
>archive is gone
Wtf was it?
It was me. Just posted something on the wrong board lol
I once got blacked out drunk on pine vodka. I cant stand the smell of pine anymore.
For me, its the sycamore tree
mahogany
>deciduous
Red alder.
>conifer
Western red cedar.
I love all conifers but western red cedar (actually a cypress) is special to me.
>I love all conifers
Southern magnolia. It will always have my heart and my childhood was spent playing under several of these in the foothills in SC.
This pic is exposured as shit
see link and laugh at the homosexual anon
None of the internet pics do justice to what it's like walking in an old sugar maple forest after a fall rain
Pine is the Black person of trees.
Cedars smell better.
beech, b***h.
The monkeys biggest fear
American Chestnut forest would be pretty good, too bad they're they're almost completely useless. So I'm gonna have to go with Black Locust
Surprised no one has said Sassafras yet
