Our neighbor gifted us a willow tree with the idea that someday it'll be nice to sit under. In return I gave them a maple with the same idea...
It's a good idea to exchange pleasant trees....

You're throwing a lot of shade, maybe yew need a hug?
I’m stumped on why comments always devolve into bickering and barking

Say what you like, the maple is not a plane tree.
How sappy
Willows are unpleasant. Their roots will get all up in your pipes.
And they drop a zillion tiny leaves in the Fall, that are difficult to rake up.
As a kid, we had a giant willow in our backyard, that got hit by lightning and split down the middle. So my dad had it taken down, but kept all the wood, and split it for firewood. It popped so badly in the fireplace, that our dog wouldn't stay in the room when a fire was going, because the constant popping disturbed her so much.
The logs needed drying. Or the joke might have been too dry for me to notice, in which case please roast me
