Yew, so many are really old and have a mystical air to them.

We have a big maple in our yard and more through the neighborhood. The sound of wind running through their leaves is very calming.
Despite being really really invasive here in Europe, I love the Staghorn Sumac.
It's very pretty, with great flowers and soft furry branches (like antlers). You can make an amazing "lemonade" from the fruits and you can eat the shoots raw.
And eating the shoots raw is a great idea, because it branches out like crazy. If your neighbors have one of these, you'll soon have half a dozen too.
They also grow pretty fast, and the wood is super pretty (and super curvy, so you won't be making any boards out of it)
I'll keep my eyes open for those next spring
I love sumac too!
They do grow fast- sumac can give shade in a sunny spot in a single year.
The way light comea through the leaves is so soothing.
I love monkey puzzle trees! They look like they'd be so easy to climb
I don't like trying to climb them though
I love that you asked this question. I like trees I can climb :-)
