A cherry tree because it's so pretty in spring and summer and an apple tree because it reminds me of fairy tales, I don't know why.

My favorite tree is the closest one to me at the time. I love all of them. Here is my top ten trees list in the south eastern U.S.
#10- American Holly...evergreen/red berries
#09- Weeping Willow...Majestic, graceful, can invoke a feeling of nostalgia.
#08- Southern Magnolia...Semi evergreen, huge creamy flowers in early/mid summer.
#07- Tulip Poplar(Liriodendron tulipifera)... Very tall sometimes, major source of food for bees in the south.
#06- Silktree(Mimosa)...Excellent pink powder puff flowers three to five weeks in summer.
#05- White Oak...Big far reaching tree very strong. Excellent durable shade.
#04- Sugar Maple...Most popular tree in southern front yards. Autumn show is best from this tree, as it is wide spread in wild.
#03- Eastern Red Cedar...Used in high end furniture for years, beautiful red and white wood is now a rare and very expensive find. Conservation needed. Reminiscent of old world living. Seems almost ancient because it grows so slowly.
#02- American Chestnut...This ancient native was only found in the eastern US and was very wide spread when the colonies formed. It is now very nearly extinct due to the import of blight from the chinese chestnut in the 1700's. Less than ten were known to live in 1990. I know of only one in North Carolina. It is at Fort Defiance in Happy Valley, and is estimated to be nearly 400 years old. This tree is astronomically huge, it must be over a hundred feet wide at the top. Its fruit is the size of a golfball or bigger, the burrs are the size of a football.. The Fort is open to visitors in the spring, summer, fall seasons.Come see it.
FINALLY #01-Flowering Dogwood(Cornus floridus)...This tree is rather small and indistinct most of the year, but in early spring just as the hardwoods start to bud out these dogwoods bloom all over the sides and top of our mountains. It is an awe inspiring sight, comparable to our fall foliage display. The size and shape of this flower has been a religious icon to southern Christians for two centuries.
I hope you enjoyed this, I sure did.

I think cherry and pear trees are beautiful (just the flowering ones, not the ones with fruit because fruit all over the yard is annoying)

That's a hard one.... In the north I'd say the willow. Down south I'm torn between a live oak or southern magnolia.
