OMG Florida has nothing but palm trees. I loooove tress. Bit tall pines and oaks! But they are so non-existent here! It's always been my dream to get married outside with tones of forest surrounding me...but I'll have to search long and hard in Florida to find a place like that.

Do you all like palm trees?

Southern California is like that or desert and the landscape bored me to pieces. If you really miss trees, head a little north to Georgia! We have trees!!

I miss trees! I was born in North Carolina. While I've been here now for more than half my life, I wish there were more North Carolina weather down here! :P

palm trees make me think of vacations. i love trees, especially evergreens <3 and sakura trees

My family once almost rented a house that had an awesome palm tree in the front yard, and we got really excited, but all for naught, as it turned out the house was in horrible condition. Now, we have a house with a nice European tree in the front, and a huge tree in the backyard, which is perfect for climbing, so that's a pretty great substitute for a palm tree.

There are loads and loads of coconut trees growing here, and I think they look very similar to palm trees :D You cannot miss coconut trees if you ever come here XD

I like birch trees, willow trees, and cherry blossom trees (in bloom).
When Autumn arrives and leaves start changing color, I like any tree that does that.

You have to go a bit into the mountains in order to experience a great color change like that since it stays pretty warm here (though it does get cold just not... snow-cold) so it was kind of boring around here during that time. I went on a hike and was able to see lots of changing trees though.

There's a good bit of palm trees here too, but I think they were brought and planted. There's also some eucalyptus trees, but they were also brought and planted here.

I always think of the Caribbean when i think about palm trees. They aren't something readily seen in England, but we have plenty of deciduous trees. Streets on old council estates like mine are often interspersed with sycamores. Most of them are taller than the houses, and they really liven the place up. My garden has a total of 33 tree and shrub like plants in it, all of varying types...I'd love to have a huge garden with some really old trees like oak, witch hazel, silver birch, or yew.

I have nothing against palm trees. There are a few here where I live, but many, many more oaks and mesquites and other various kinds. My grandmother had a tall date palm in her yard. It was cool and she liked getting dates from it to use for baking. On our property we have a HUGE old pecan tree, but sadly it has lived it's time span and is slowly dying. :( We also have oaks and mesquites, pear trees, an apple tree, pines, ash trees, Chineses tallow trees, a fig tree, hackberry trees, a bottlebrush tree which is blooming profusely now with long red brushy flowers, orange trees, crepe myrtle trees, and maybe a few I am forgetting. Sadly all three of our papaya trees died in the hard freezes we had this winter. I think our peach tree is dead too. :(

We have a lot of birch and spruce in this area. I don't think there are many--if any at all--pine trees up here. In fact, the further north you go, the more hard-pressed you are to find trees. The winter wind will bend them into loops and stunt the growth if you happen across one.

I just love wisteria, although I don't know if they would be considered bushes. Still, they're so beautiful to me. And those weeping willows.
See the trend?
