A friend of mine lost his father last week. My girl-friend and I
wanted to give his family the gift of a tree that would help to remind
him of his father. Is there a tree that is used as a memorial, or used


Possibly another job for Albizia julibrissin although you would need to take
local advice on it's suitability, it can seed around in the ideal
conditions.


And maybe - although I think it might be seen as a bit of a weed in the
US - a Tree of Heaven? Nice shape, lovely when underneath it looking
up. Again, not sure about the conditions - but a nice name

(Smells a bit odd when briefly in flower; wood is a bit weak; can breed
far too much if male and female are near each other).
