willows. We used to have 2 of them on each side of our front yard growing up. There was a hurricane off the coast on NY and they both fell ( on the house ) on the same day . I missed those trees for the longest time! Now I do like Maple. I want to plant a chinese maple this year.
For me it's definitely a weeping willow but if you ask my daughter the first thing she would say is a palm tree. She'll pick out palm trees on tv all the time!
I love weeping willow trees too, especially when their branches are allowed to grow long and touch the ground or when they are neatly trimmed to just a few inches above the ground, so pretty. I would love to have one in our yard but DH says they're "too messy" and they probably are.
