I'm an Ash Tree:

ASH TREE (Ambition) - uncommonly attractive, vivacious, impulsive, demanding, does not care for criticism, ambitious, intelligent, talented, likes to play with fate, can be egotistic, very reliable and trustworthy, faithful and prudent lover, sometimes brains rule over the heart, but takes partnership very seriously.

I agree with most of it, but I'm not at all demanding or egotistic ;)  As to whether I'm "uncommonly attractive" or not, I'd have to ask my hubby :D

HAZELNUT TREE (Extraordinary) - charming, undemanding, very understanding, knows how to make an impression, active fighter for social cause, popular, moody, and capricious lover, honest, and tolerant partner, precise sense of judgment.


Not sure about that lot.

Think 'nut' might be the clue

I fell from the Chestnut Tree and I do posess a very unusual beauty - the reflection in my mirror looks very, very unusual - not quite human looking most of the time.

I'm a lime tree - now is that the nice one that goes in my G & Ts or the one that drips on people's cars??

 ;D ;D


Quote
LIME TREE (Doubt) - accepts what life dishes out in a composed way, hates fighting, stress, and labor, dislikes laziness and idleness, soft and relenting, makes sacrifices for friends, many talents but not tenacious enough to make them blossom, often wailing and complaining, very jealous but loyal.

I don't wanna be a lime tree - whine, complain!!

Aw Tricia - you say the nicest things - what do you want?? LOL  ;D ;D

My children will tell you I am a confirmed tree-hugger (any variety) and son thinks I do nothing all day (whatever gave him that idea?) so maybe there is something in it!?!
