If You Could Be Any Kind of Tree, What Kind of Tree Would You Be?
I'd be a bonzai tree.

Because they're small...and cool.

1. Whichever tree gets chopped down the least,
I'll be that tree.

9. This says I'm a weeping willow....
"WEEPING WILLOW (the Melancholy) - beautiful but full of melancholy, attractive, very empathetic, loves anything beautiful and tasteful, loves to travel, dreamer, restless, capricious, honest, can be influenced but is not easy to live with, demanding, good intuition, suffers in love but finds sometimes an anchoring partner."

That's accurate in some ways, not in others. I definitely love to travel :D

11. That chart is dead accurate for me.
Jul 05 to Jul 14

Fir Tree (the Mysterious) - extraordinary taste, dignity, sophisticated, loves anything beautiful, moody, stubborn, tends to egoism but cares for those close to them, rather modest, very ambitious, talented, industrious, uncontented lover, many friends, many foes, very reliable.

10. I love oak trees, so maybe one of those, or perhaps a jacaranda tree.
The jacarandas are pretty common in Florida and California. I understand that the ones here in CA are bigger and more majestic than the ones in FL. Every spring, they are covered with tiny, blue flowers. It rather looks like blue haze from a distance. Whole neighborhoods have them along the streets, and they are magnificent!

Tall, thick, and long-lasting.
