TREES!!!!




Picking trees are harder than i thought.

I like the cherry tree  because it has a stringy feel to it. Its branches when in bloom cast a large singular shadow that rotates through the day but when it is not in bloom the branches individually cast shadows zigzagging across the paths and criss crossing back and forth altering. I like this tree not only because of the shadows it cast but its mean to death.

Cherry (Sakura)
Represents the Japanese idea of �The Perfect Death�. Also perfection of virtue and existence.



The other tree is  the Montezuma Bald Cypress tree. I like this tree a lot but it grows differently in the north than it does in the south, where i first saw it. This tree will turn deciduous and changes its form minimally when it  comes to the north. basically there becomes less hang to it. I liked this tree because of its resemblance to the weeping willow except with this tree doesn't have an overwhelming amount of hang.... therefor grouping there wouldn't become difficult. i am working on find another tree to replace this one one that with grow a little taller than the cherry and have a hang to its branch.  I liked this tree because the trunk is love giving space to walk and the branches weep a little for privace and then they are very full for nice shadow. and taller than  they are wide!!!



The other tree i have considered is the turkey oak unfortunately it just doesn't do it for me the search continues. I have been searching for trees associated with death trying to find ones that fit the regiment
