What's your favourite tree?

Question

I love love the Drumstick tree. There is one in our garden and it never lacks when it comes to drumstick or drumstick leaves supply. You can consume the leaves of this tree too! Preparing the drumsticks for cooking is kind of tiring but worth the effort because it's healthy and nutritious without tasting like depression and it's fun to eat it. There are many of these in my state and locality, by the main roads, in even park, everywhere.

Also called moringa or horseradish tree.

"The Tree of Life", the 2011 movie from Terrence Malick that was up for Best Picture at the Academy Awards.

https://www.youtube.com/embed/OKqqboXuvyE

Roger Ebert put it on his last list (2012) of the greatest movies ever made.

His June 2011 review starts like this:
https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/the-tree-of-life-2011

Terrence Malick’s “The Tree of Life” is a film of vast ambition and deep humility, attempting no less than to encompass all of existence and view it through the prism of a few infinitesimal lives. The only other film I’ve seen with this boldness of vision is Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey,” and it lacked Malick’s fierce evocation of human feeling.

He was so affected - and I was too - that he wrote another essay about the movie. This essay was published on December 14, 2012, it a few months before he died. It started like this:

https://www.rogerebert.com/roger-ebert/a-prayer-beneath-the-tree-of-life

Terrence Malick‘s new film is a form of prayer. It created within me a spiritual awareness, and made me more alert to the awe of existence. I believe it stands free from conventional theologies, although at its end it has images that will evoke them for some people. It functions to pull us back from the distractions of the moment, and focus us on mystery and gratitude.

The British Film Institute, every 10 years since 1952, polls film critics and directors for their list of their Top 10 Greatest Films of All Time. The BFI then compiles the individual lists to create a list of the Top 100 Greatest Films of All Time - one for critics and one for directors. Those final lists are then published in BFI's magazine Sight and Sound.

So, since Ebert died in 2013, his 2012 list was his last. He added "The Tree of Life" to that list. Here is his list, published on December 19, 2012, which was 5 days after that earlier essay.

THIS list, which is in his name and has no other author name, is NOT that list.

Fortunately, I found his original list on Reddit:

His final list before he died (he replaces a few movies in the list that the article links to):

2001: A Space Odyssey
Aguirre, the Wrath of God
Apocalypse Now
Citizen Kane
La Dolce Vita
The General
Raging Bull
Tokyo Story
The Tree of Life
Vertigo

This is Roger's actual Ten Best from 2012, also published on 14 DEC 2012.

We have an empress tree. I love it. It's shady and the spring blossoms are beautiful and smell wonderful.

I also like crepe myrtles. They come in a variety of colors and are one big blossom in the summer.
Ours is this color

My wife and I also have citrus trees - lemon, orange and pink grapefruit. They are evergreen and are loaded with fruit all year. The spring blossoms smell amazing and attract butterflies.

I love magnolia trees - their flowers are so beautiful

I also love Linden trees - their flowers have the sweetest, most intoxicating smell and can be used in teas

Lastly, I really like birch trees, too - I just think the white peeling bark is so pretty

I love that you chose the drumstick tree, such an underrated superstar 🌿

My favorite is the olive tree. It always reminds me of small Italian villages where I tasted simple bread dipped in fresh green-gold olive oil, fruity and slightly peppery. The trees look ancient and wise, twisted trunks and silvery leaves, and they give us both amazing oil and those briny, addictive olives 🫒

Dragon's Blood Tree, though I've never actually seen one, not even in a botanical garden, and the only place they grow in the wild is too dangerous to visit

Massageman · Answer

We know a missionary couple who travel to countries and plant moringas. He's very frugal, so I guess he discovered a good thing when they found it.
