Here in the Midwest, I've always been partial to an old and hearty Red Maple. They take forever to grow, but the old, big ones I see on occasion are so beautiful.Chris "Hoops" Hughesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9193288971166646699.post-46845183073314101112010-08-11T14:56:20.509-04:002010-08-11T14:56:20.509-04:00Oh I have so many favorites!

I've always wanted one to put some sort of overstuffed chaise and laze the day away. <br /><br />I also LOVE what we call Quaken Aspens. The white bark is such a beautiful contrast against their fall colours of brilliant orange!<br /><br />I do have a Mimosa tree in my back yard and it is bearing the puffy pink blooms. Oh I just can't wait until it reachs maturity!<br /><br />Have a fabulous day!Debbie Taillieuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01066245842397783874noreply@blogger.com
