How about wollemi and witteboom?

bilby commented on the list trees

Wollemi belongs on a Secret Trees list.

reesetee commented on the list trees

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. :-)

reesetee commented on the list trees

Thanks, mollusque--you're really classing up the joint! :-)

sionnach commented on the list trees

Some of these tree names are very pretty. Others less so. My druidy-druid ancestors would approve of this list.

January 16, 2008

reesetee commented on the list trees

Glad to hear that. You can thank mollusque for most of the more exotic types. :-)

Druidy-druid? It's been ten hours and nobody's questioned that?

But jennarenn...it's sionnach! ;->

Psst, reesetee, bamboo isn't a tree.

Mighty list!!! I was browsing the dictionary today and found 'sneezewood'. Thought you could add it (I think...).

July 19, 2009

reesetee commented on the list trees

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

PossibleUnderscore commented on the list trees

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!! ;-)

November 10, 2009

bilby commented on the list trees

Sausages don't grow on trees. They're a root crop.

PossibleUnderscore commented on the list trees

Do these trees deserve a special spot on your list?

March 8, 2010

reesetee commented on the list trees

Yes indeed! Thanks!

ruzuzu commented on the list trees

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."

*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?)

March 9, 2010

ruzuzu commented on the list trees

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

Yes, yes... that's exactly why.

March 9, 2010

reesetee commented on the list trees

AHA!

*draws curtains, closes windows*

March 9, 2010

ruzuzu commented on the list trees

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.

March 9, 2010

reesetee commented on the list trees

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

Here's a nice cuppa....

*hands through slot in door*

March 9, 2010

ruzuzu commented on the list trees

Thanks!

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

March 9, 2010

reesetee commented on the list trees

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*

March 10, 2010

ruzuzu commented on the list trees

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*

March 10, 2010

reesetee commented on the list trees

You're welcome, I'm sure.

*feels unreasonably virtuous*

*still keeps curtains drawn, just in case*

Is there a list of earworms somewhere?

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)
