**I am very fond of trees and have always been so, even if my knowledge of them is far less than I would like. The city where I have lived for the past 25 years is known as 'The City of Trees'; no doubt they are prized for the shade they provide during the hot summers. In particular I am fond of oak trees, which are abundant throughout the regions in which I was born, raised, and in which I presently live. (I was born in a city called 'Oakland'.) I am also very fond of the giant Sequoias, commonly called 'Redwoods', which may be found both on the coast and in the Sierra-Nevadas. It should not be surprising that I am very fond of the great oak trees to be found in both the Shire and the Chetwood in LOTRO, and of course the mellyrn in Lothlórien** - <@621084362682925077> (fast)
