Favorite Tree:  Deodar cedar. I love so many trees and I should probably pick one native to North Carolina, but the beautiful structure and giant swooping branches of the Deodar cedar fill me with awe.

Favorite Tree: My favorite tree is not a specific one, but I love the mangroves in Puerto Rico off the coast of Maguayo, also called La Parguera. As a child, my favorite memories were swimming with my cousins in and around the mangroves. I enjoyed snorkeling to see the fishes and climbing around to find the crabs on top of their roots.
