Nice story! I love trees. I'm a Nursery Manager, you know. Trees 'R' Me! My in-laws also have a Tree Farm, and my BIL works for a competing nursery; but he can never out-sell me, LOL!
I love all of the trees I've planted on my farm over the years...all 100+ of them. The first thing I do after a storm is to go make sure 'everyone' is OK. :)
My favorite is my Tamarack Pine, which is really growing a little too far south here, but she's happy. It's the only fir tree to turn yellow in the fall, then lose her needles. She has very pretty rosette-like cones, too.
Second favorite would be my Hemlock. I love that tree. It looks kind of Charlie Brown now, but she'll be a beauty when full grown. Hemlocks can tolerate shade, so it's a good one to add to a shady spot - of you have room for a future 30' tree. A 'sentimental' favorite is the White Pine my son planted when he was little. It's well over 30' tall now, nearly 20 years later. I understand why these people love their tree!
Tamarack in the fall. 
A nice Hemlock - but not as pretty as mine. :)
Worthy of a Garden Ping, Red?

My 90-year-old Papa planted an avacado tree in his yard about five years ago. He called planting it a “leap of faith.”
I think most trees are leaps of faith in the next generations.
