  • oroboros Some of the pines in my area: Sugar pine (a 5-needle pine holding largest cone title - by length. Also my favorite pine), Coulter pine ("big cone pine" holding title of largest cone by mass), Digger pine (named for the "Digger" indians who harvested its large seeds) Feb 9, 2013

  • hernesheir from the Wiki: "...the ye'eb, yeheb or jeheb nut is a species of tree from the monotypic genus Cordeauxia. The tree is native to the Horn of Africa.... Jun 21, 2010

  • PossibleUnderscore Upas: a tree so nice, it's listed twice.
    ;-) Jun 21, 2010

  • reesetee *phones Tree Police to keep an eye on possible* Mar 14, 2010

  • PossibleUnderscore *resists chopping down tree just to be mean* Mar 13, 2010

  • reesetee *will not answer birdphone*

    *yet is intrigued by sionnach's word* Mar 13, 2010

  • sionnach What lyrical lyribliring! Mar 13, 2010

  • ruzuzu *attempts birdcall*

    One ringy-dingy.
    Two ringy-dingies. Mar 13, 2010

  • reesetee *refuses to emerge* Mar 13, 2010

  • ruzuzu *waits patiently for the reesetee to emerge from its nest in the trees* Mar 13, 2010

  • reesetee You're welcome, I'm sure.

    *feels unreasonably virtuous*

    *still keeps curtains drawn, just in case* Mar 9, 2010

  • ruzuzu Oh, treeeees! You're so kind. Here I was, assuming you were going to try to get me with the old cuppa-through-the-slot-in-the-door trick (almost as famous as the squirting-daisy-in-the-lapel trick)... but no! You're a paragon of cuppa-offering kindness. If I'd done a bit more observation, I would have seen that.

    Thanks!

    *tries to slurp surreptitiously* Mar 9, 2010

  • reesetee But I already gave you one. *confused*

    And how did you know I had cups with birds...oh, never mind.

    *hands over cup of tea* Mar 9, 2010

  • ruzuzu Thanks!

    Um... could I have a cup, too? (I like the looks of that one with the bird on it.) Mar 9, 2010

  • reesetee Thanks. I can draw blinds, too, but I still have trouble with conclusions.

    Here's a nice cuppa....

    *hands through slot in door* Mar 9, 2010

  • ruzuzu You're a good artist--your curtain drawing reminds me of some by the early impressionists.

    *evil laugh, followed by coughing fit*

    I don't suppose you'd let me have a cup of tea... it's still a bit cold out here. Mar 9, 2010

  • reesetee AHA!

    *draws curtains, closes windows* Mar 9, 2010

  • ruzuzu Dang! Aid a trefoil! (Drat! Foiled again!)

    Yes, yes... that's exactly why. Mar 9, 2010

  • reesetee *stunned*

    Wow. I need to read that a few times before I can answer.

    *ponders*

    Actually, "Treeeees!" has been used as my nickname. Sayyyyy...have you been eavesdropping? (Is that why your keys were in my front yard?)
    Mar 9, 2010

  • ruzuzu Favorited (though I do think you should re-name this list "Treeeees!" in order to make it an anagram of your name).

    Edit: Or, since you included mollusque, "Emulous Treeeees... LQ." (Are there any other users you could add? Not sure what to do about those last two letters.)

    Edit No. 2: For instance, if you added bilby, you'd get "bouquet sublimely" and then you'd just have to deal with the extra letters EEELRS, which could at least spell eels, or leers, or reels, etc.

    Edit No. 3: And if you then included fbharjo, it would be appropriate to start by spelling
    "beryllium."

  • reesetee Yes indeed! Thanks! Mar 8, 2010

  • PossibleUnderscore Do these trees deserve a special spot on your list? Mar 8, 2010

  • bilby Sausages don't grow on trees. They're a root crop. Nov 10, 2009

  • PossibleUnderscore In an old textbook I came across by chance (long story), it mentions sausage tree and umbrella tree. I hadn't heard of them before but I thought of this list!! ;-) Nov 10, 2009

  • reesetee Thanks! Never heard of sneezewood, actually, but it's on the list now. :-) Jul 20, 2009

  • PossibleUnderscore Mighty list!!! I was browsing the dictionary today and found 'sneezewood'. Thought you could add it (I think...). Jul 19, 2009

  • mollusque Psst, reesetee, bamboo isn't a tree. Oct 18, 2008

  • reesetee Thanks, iamerica! Feb 4, 2008

  • iamerica orchard tree.... ahh i love trees. Feb 4, 2008

  • reesetee But jennarenn...it's sionnach! ;-> Jan 16, 2008

  • jennarenn Druidy-druid? It's been ten hours and nobody's questioned that? Jan 16, 2008

  • reesetee Glad to hear that. You can thank mollusque for most of the more exotic types. :-) Jan 15, 2008

  • sionnach Some of these tree names are very pretty. Others less so. My druidy-druid ancestors would approve of this list. Jan 15, 2008

  • reesetee Thanks, mollusque--you're really classing up the joint! :-) Dec 18, 2007

  • reesetee Added both, thanks! Mollusque, since you expressed interest in "stealing" this list, I've added you as a contributor. Have at it! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out, since this started as a sort of catch-all for tree words from other lists. :-) Dec 17, 2007

  • bilby Wollemi belongs on a Secret Trees list. Dec 16, 2007

  • mollusque How about wollemi and witteboom? Dec 6, 2007
