Any tree huggers out there?

Anyone here like to hug and worship the beautiful trees?
Whats your favourite type of tree?

 

i'm weak for old and big trees. i'm not really good in worshipping anything, but every time i see couple of hundreds years old tree i think of it as a living treasure. visualy most effective tree for me is banyan tree

yeah i have been known to hug a few trees from time to time. I love hugging the nikau palms, they are just such a good shape for it.
Especially the ones on the awesome Heaphy Track:

 

I love and respect them deeply, but I dont worship them. I love hugging trees tho, it makes me feel so much better, and I am sure the tree feels better as well.

 

I love hugging trees, I've just moved into a house where there is a big mature oak in the front garden and a baby apple tree in the back. I love them both! I'll hopefully be plating some more soon so I can watch them grow!

 

Yeah, it's not worship, it's more like kinship, brotherhood. I just feel connected with them (not just trees, though, but all of nature. But trees are just easier to hug )

There is something special about hugging a huge tree though. I can't describe it.

 

I love big, old trees. I am just completely blown away thinking about how they were once small seedlings, and grew to be the enormous trees that they are now.

I tend to find myself in love with Weeping Willow trees because I love their cascade of branches and leaves, and how you can hide beneath them, enclosed in your own little world.

 

I love trees. I live on a street aptly named Oakleaf Drive because it has literally hundreds of big oak trees on it. The trees are pretty when the leaves are either really green or have fallen completely, revealing the skeleton of the tree.

 

Yay i'm so glad there are some people out there with a love of trees because I think they are beautiful and amazing!

 

I love trees and I love the forest.
The birch is beautiful, and we have alot of em here.

 

I love weeping Willow trees. I think that they are so beautiful, but they also look sad in the same sense. We used to have a Willow tree in our yard that I would sit in for hours. I've never felt so peaceful in my entire life.

 

i love all trees. they are all beautiful and should be treated with respect. i dont really have a favorite kind.

 

I agree,Weeping Willows are beautiful!

 

I enjoy the pine trees. Holly. Sasafras.

 

in some places in asia they have holy trees that buddhists put ribbons around and pray and have incenses... Thailand has many of those....

I love old trees...I can feel some kinda heavy and strong wizdom power, i feel "filled up" with calm/bliss.... Imagine some trees can be up to 2500 yrs! (maybe more i think) it's amazing, they were here before christianity, they know lots of stuff....

 

weeping willows are nice. there is a tree in my backyard (i forget what kind it is) but it hangs down sort of like a weeping willow. it is really beautiful. i used to use it has my club house when i was little.

 

I am a huge fan of almost all trees ! Have I ever hugged one ??? - No, but as a child I used to just adore climbing them - Is anyone else here a tree-climber ??? - I have heard that some ( albeit somewhat eccentric ) adults take tree-climbing very seriously ! As for my fave tree... it's got to be the mighty English Oak.

 

OAKS! I LOVE oaks in the springtime. And twisting willows. You know that line in "Because", by the Beatles about the world being so beautiful it "makes me cry"? I can really understand that line when I look at some trees. They're so majestic.

 

I consider myself apart of nature. Therefore I hug trees like I hug friends and loved ones! Family! All of nature is magnificant, the Bradford Pear is a friend I like to hug and hang out with a lot.

 

The Bristlecone Pine. Using live trees and dead stands, scientists have produced an uninterrupted tree ring chronology tracing climatic changes going back some 9000 years. The Methuselah Tree is the oldest living organism on our planet. To prevent damage from tourists, his location is kept secret. There are no pictures to identify which tree he is. Tree ring analysis has determined his age to be 4885 years old. He lives somewhere in the Wheeler Peak Grove in The White Mountains of California. He is deserving of our hugs. wherever he is.
