Which means around January (as far as I know here from {asking my parents}?)

Wait this is an actual discussion of trees and not pot? Internet, you've outdone yourself.

My personal favorites are pacific coast redwoods. I know, I know, overdone. What can I say? I suppose I find any living thing impressive if it's managed to survive the anthropocene despite being especially large and economically useful and isn't deer.

I visited the oak and the chestnut I planted myself.

They're so big already. I remember them as nuts ^_^
Here's a tree I found at a park as a sprout growing in the sandbox:

I'm not sure exactly what type of tree it is, but it's got a thorny trunk and ivy-like leafs. It's at least 12 years old now, I think.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

We've got fire trees here. :3
When I get a nice shot of actual fire trees, I'm uploading them here :I
And by fire trees, I'm pretty serious--orange leaves all over in small, clustered bunches.
Unsure as to their species, but they're along the highways connecting the cities and rural areas.

I don't want to be seen as an elf-fondling, tree-hugging traitor, but I like sequoia and cedar.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

It's probably a type of sumac.

Well, from the photo alone I can tell that you live in either Arizona or New Mexico...
Close enough.

It seems more closely reminiscent of a willow. Leaves are less pointy and don't droop down, though.

Not any willow I've seen, my willows have leaves like soft spaghetti dangling down like so many curled locks of green hair
