Another Apple Tree here. Fairly accurate, I have to admit. Was fun to check everyone's birthdate and see what tree they were. Thanks for sharing, gumlla.
Gumlla,
lol, notice you didnt say "good qualities"
I am a "fly by the seat of my pants" kind person. It drives my husband, and all others around me, nuts.
I liked your this qulity very much "extremely attractive and does not care for criticism".
do you have these? If yes then your DH is a lucky man.
Kaleem
I hate criticism and have a tendancy to blow critizing people off...how dare they even insinuate that i am less than perfect, lol. I guess some people find me attractive. I put on a brave front but during private moments i dont play well alone. I need people around me or some kind of action. It gets pretty tiring but I dont know how to slow down. Pillar to post, day in and day out. Many times I've found myself wondering "what have I done" "omg, did i really do that" but don't have time to give it much thought because after that i'm on to something else. Endless circles.
I always thought it was because i was a gemini, now i know its because i'm an ash tree : )
I'm a Weeping Willow Tree, born on September 5... and it seems to be me, both the good *AND* the bad. :)

Se-eds
It means you have a buttering personality? Have you followed my words?
I wrote this sentence because of your "sense of humer " quality is the best quality in you.
Oh, I was just teasing when I said that. I defiantely have my faults. I love this thread. I pop in here just to see how many different trees are in the garden.
WOW!!! This Chestnut tree makes me look pretty good! i am a may baby. Yes, I like to be organized, but the superior quality, I wish I had more of at times.
That was fun, thanks.
I'm a hornbeam. Funny - I've never heard of a hornbeam before and in the past two days I've seen in 2 times. Here and in the book I am reading "The Subtle Knife" by Phillip Pullman.
