They look otherworldly to me.

My choice as well.And a honorable mention goes to the Willow tree:

Weeping Willow are wonderful to stand under on a sunny day, the way the light flits between the leaves as they sway. They're also one of the first to green in spring. I also like the Cracked Willow for the awkward, distorted shapes they form and the sound of the wind through their leaves.
Cherry are great of course at this time of year. I have a tiny cherry in a pot and it's one of the first things to bloom in my garden. Magnolia get props too for spring flowering.
Oak, because of how ancient they can get, the distinctive shape of their leaves, acorns, and the way they spread out and dominate any area they establish in.
Horse Chestnut. Childhood memories of hunting for giant conkers.
Yew. When they're allowed to grow into trees with their green needle leaves set against reddish bark. They can also live a very long time. There is a folk tradition in the UK of planting them in churchyards and cemeteries which are good places to find old ones.

I get nostalgic whenever I'm around ceiba trees. The older ones have some amazing looking roots too.
Yep. Pine forests are my favorites and Douglas fir wood make for the prettiest wood planks.
Japanese red pine.
I've never seen them in-person (since I've yet to visit Japan personally), but sakura/cherry blossom trees are beautiful. Just pure elegance.
Sakura season just ended here.

When I was young we used to have a giant willow tree in our backyard that I would always pretend to be Tarzan with, until a tornado knocked it down. :(
In addition to weeping willows, I'm a big fan of the American Sycamore. They remind me of the weirwood trees from Game of Thrones.
I have a soft spot for willows, because we had one outside and I would always be climbing it, also whickering with their hanging growths was always fun.
I love this thread. Trees make me happy.
I'm partial to Sassafras trees because they smell like root beer.

We actually have thousands of Cherry Blossoms in Philly. We had six on my old block and while they are very pretty for about a week or 2, the clean up is a bitch and it takes weeks.
Have to go for birches, they're just beautiful with the white bark. And I say that as someone who's really allergic to their pollen
I love the way ginko trees look, and they stay pretty way longer than cherryblossoms (which only bloom for like a week every year). But the smell is no joke.ginko aesthetic af
And saucer magnolia trees
I have a Saucer Magnolia that I planted about 12 years ago. It is the most frustrating tree ever. Every year it begins to bloom, we get a light overnight frost and it winds up looking like your picture except brown and wilted until its leaves are out and fully growing. It is absolutely beautiful when that doesn't happen. It just happens too often.
I love the redbud trees in the spring that we have. They are fairly common in the area but they just really make the landscape come alive when they bloom.

Simply beautiful.Sakura season just ended here.
Nice!
Yeah, clean up does seem like it would be a bit of a headache but the visual beauty is worth it.
I like evergreens, like a simple spruce
They bring some much needed winter green to my cold snowy deciduous home
Nothing fancy, they just look really nice in the winter when most of the treeline is dead looking sticks

This is my favorite thread, ever.
We have lots of Live Oaks where I live, the kind with the big moss bunches hanging down, but my favorite tree locally is the Magnolia, as they get super big and seem to take over the local forest.
Not technically a tree, but the feeling of sunlight filtered through leaves has to be one of the best ways to celebrate Earth Day.
