Trees

Good topic idea!  I'm fascinated by trees.  There are two gigantic locust trees in my backyard shading our deck.  I love those, but they shed a lot of crap.  I'd like to see the Redwoods someday, they are incredible.  The palm trees along streets in LA amaze me as well.  Oaks like the ones in the picture are cool, too.  There's a gigantic one downtown George Washington used to sit under.  I'm basically a huge fan of gigantic, widespread trees that create canopies.  There's a section of road down the street that is completely covered by trees very high above the road itself that I just love.

Duke and Fez are referring to Live Oaks, which have a tendency to rot in the middle and fall over on your house and car with little to no warning. They also grow like weeds, they are a pain in the ass to remove and the stumps keep growing back over and over, they're pretty though. I personally like either the dogwood or Magnolia tree. I have somewhat of an affinity for the Palmetto but they aren't always popular.

Yeah.  Actually, Elon means oak tree in Hebrew and the campus is loaded with them.  It's a huge part of the school.
