Hey /out/ what is your favourite tree or plant from your region?

Mine is the honey locust tree, in Niagara Ontario it is the only place that grows the honey locust in Canada

I love chewing/smelling yellow birch twigs, the wintergreen taste is great.

I can't pick a favourite tree... probably American beech (Fagus americana), but I'm partial to red spruce (Picea rubens) and jack pine (Pinus banksiana).

I'd love to see osage orange, tulip tree, and sassafras IRL, but I haven't been in those southern forests.

It has a very hard dense wood. But since the wood have a very nice grain and a cool redish color, I hate burning it. The only time I burn the mezquite is when I smoke meat and burn the leftovers of my projects.

Hard to pick... mostly wetland trees: cottonwood, red/silver maples, arborvitae, black willow, etc.

They're non native I'm pretty sure but I also love those huge ass willows that tend to have several thick trunks coming out a massive base, see them a lot along stream banks and swamp edges.

Am in southern Michigan, I know for a fact we have Tulips, pretty sure we have sassafras, not sure about osage though.

I live in Eastern Ontario. I know it occurs in the most southern areas of Ontario, bordering the US, but I've never explored these areas.

I'd love to smell Sassafras, it sounds awesome.

I should also amend my list: the lowly balsam poplar is one of my favourite trees. In the spring, as the buds expand, the buds have this incredible resinous cloying smell. It's one of my favourite smells and a good indicator of the coming of summer.

I've never seen one in southern MI. That's why I included Ohio. There are some in the Port Clinton/Sandusky area that I've seen.

I live near Windsor. I haven't seen any sassafras around, but then, I haven't been poking around the woods much since I've moved here. I've seen it in Michigan a lot. Honestly, it's not all that amazing. I guess if you're not used to it, it's something interesting. Honestly, though, whitecedar has a more impressive smell, IMO.

I'm with you on the figgy trees but that's not a very flattering pitcher of one. Also do you know what park that is??

Can /out/ ID this tree for me in New England? It looks like beech but beech trees are the last ones to change color, whereas these are the first trees to change color in autumn. Bright yellow, and they're everywhere so overnight the green forest gets a sudden smattering of yellow everywhere you look. It's kind of exciting, weirdly.

I love all conifers, but when it comes down to it, Juniperus Virginiana, or the Eastern Red Cedar, is my favorite. Grows abundantly in the Ozarks. Lovely smell and added bonus of the berries, which make a great tea or just a small snack, and can anecdotally be a coffee substitute (have yet to try). I plan on looking into the possibility of using the needles for tea, but not sure about the safety of that

Yeah I think you're right, I've been googling. You know what pisses me off now? I was always a little sad that we didn't have any real sugar maples in our woods so I was never able to make syrup. We do, however, have TONS of black birch which has that sweet wintergreeny sap. I just found out now, with my googling, that you can tap dat shit and make a delicious syrup with black birch. And I just moved away and can't do it >:|

That's a shame, it's hard to refine sap into syrup though. For maple it takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup, for birch it's much worse at a 100:1 ratio. It would not have been easy to tap, harvest, and boil, 100 gallons of birch sap
