I think I'd be a rowan tree, they're not massive, but small elegant and gracefull, they have lovely leaves and berries and live on the edge of forests rather than in the middle.
I've planted 16 trees since I've been in this house and numerous shrubs and bushes.
A thousand year old Oak. Withered branches that have survived through time.
I think I would possibly like to be a Clementine tree, or else a Cashew tree.
OOohh conker trees!
Artificial xmas trees, I have lots of inherited and home made decorations on mine every year, it always feels magical.
I'd like to live in a forest again, I used to live in a small place in the forest of Brechfa.
I'm sure you'd look lovely covered in tinsel and fairy lights.
You could end up with a forest around your house. Maybe woodland creatures will pay a visit to your front door.
I want to be an oak tree.
I have a rowan in my front garden, which is small and slender and shivers in the wind, and then grows orange fruits.
I have got into tree planting lately. I have planted many in the last year and look forward to seeing them grow. Some have been more successful than others. I love seeing them get bigger and become independent.
The newest one I planted is a yew, and I like to think how it might still be here in 700 years, even if my house is not.
I think i would be a conker tree. ( It is a medical thing i am unable to further comment on )Let.s just say that mine did not "drop"... They were lowered by a crane !
Artificial Christmas tree. I like to be indoors on cold nights. :-)
A young slender tree with lots of broken twigs that blows in the wind and is delicate and half-dead from internal rot and ...bugs crawl all over it, big nasty ones like earwigs and spiders
id be a ent, because then i can still walk around and do stuff.
These grow where i live and the season is not long. I love this tree. It's so singular! here is a painting I did of a jabuticaba tree. It hung near my computer work area.

I've tried to study ogham as a divination system, and those who can determine which tree is which, and can get a stick from each type of tree, and carve a symbol onto each one of them, have my deepest respect, since I can barely discern one tree from another. And having such an alphabet exist, speaks to how much knowledge the ancients knew about the land and nature, that they respected nature so much, they created an entire alphabet based on it. .
I've studied ogham, both as a language or writing system and as a divination system. It's hard to do as a writing system I think I'd have to learn ancient Irish to understand it properly and it's possible that the language has changed so much that decyphering it takes a lot of linguistic skill, a skill I don't have. I did have an ongoing argument with one of my Uni lecturers about how old the language was, with her arguing for the late 1st centuary AD and me for something much earlier, we enjoyed these debates.
CatWomen, that's absolutely outrageous! Why cut it down? It will outlive us all by centuries.
Whoever is telling you to do this needs educating.

I tried to put an icon of a mango , but it didn't work.
