Hi I study forestry and I'd like to know if there's a species of tree you don't like. The only species I have negative feelings for is Ailanthus altissima.

I don’t think there are any I hate universally— every tree is great in its right habitat. For my local area I think silver birch, Betula pendula would be my least favorite. Everyone loves planting them but they’re so poorly suited for our climate they just die.

What's it about your area that it's not doing well? I like that it's basically the cow of trees. It has a white rind with dark spots and it provides you with a refreshing beverage in spring.

Way too hot and dry. We also have a pest insect that attacks and kills them and there’s no effective treatment for it.

Birch sap. It's sugary water that you can harvest similar to maple syrup.

This is a beverage?
