I am a lime tree. That's really odd since I enjoy wood carving and use a lot of lime wood in that. Some aspects it's correct and in others, not so much!

Hornbeam, but I don't agree with some of it at all. "Cares for its looks and condition" not me at all. My face I don't mind it, because I'm behind it. It's the folks out in front that I jar.

The Apple, where I land in the calendar year, doesn't seem to match me at all...oh well... Guess we can't expect all of the population of the earth to be so neatly pigeonholed, it would be too easy, lol!
