Nothing against oaks, but they should have made it the sequoia b/c they're already protected. No extra law needed.

Making the Oak Tree the National Tree is a great idea. It is strong and beautiful (most of the time - except when the leaves start falling - i just wish all the leaves would fall off when they turned brown).

"represents the fundamental characteristics of this great nation: strength, endurance and beauty." Yeah...but it's got small nuts that fall off and get eaten by rodents. Where's the strength in that? I want a tree with some real cajones.

The oak tree, said Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Virginia, is present in all 50 states... I didn't know we had oak trees in Hawaii. Someone needs to point them out to me...

There are larch here. Strange tree like it's from another planet. Not good for anything but to make you wonder what it's good for.

Actually, the American chestnut would be a greatly more suitable choice for national tree. The American chestnut practically built this country (structurally, that is). Unfortunately, most of the chestnuts were wiped out by the blight. Some researchers are working to strengthen the resistance of the remaining trees and, perhaps, reintroduce this great tree into its former range.
