Browneopsis ucayalina. I would take a photo of mine but it's night no point.

Marañon.
You will never see the fruit for sale because the fruit melts 2 hours after being picked. Taiwan sells them but they flash freeze the fruit and keep them frozen until sold.

I like Redbuds.

In southern New England where I live we have a lot of young forest that used to be farmland. These great big white oaks with massive low branches were grown as solitary shade trees for grazing animals 200 years ago but now they're surrounded by forest. Seeing a massive snag or even better a still living giant white oak in the middle of the forest unexpectedly is amazing. I have a few of these trees I regularly visit when I run the trails near my house.

Yellow birch, because the bark smells good when you scratch it. And I got a ton of it around.

The Lobeira or "wolf tree" in Brazil, nothing special about it, looks ordinary, flower is kinda pretty and the fruit is kinda tasty, but nothing crazy.
But if you have one near your house, your chances of seeing a Maned wolf become several times higher, they are crazy about this fruit, which is why we call it Wolf Apples.

It is acceptable as number 3 as well.
Horse chestnut is also good.

I do, and I have 10 of them in my backyard. A little boring, I know, but they just cut such a striking, deliberate form. They don't quite give off the same aura with such an ominous backdrop, I must say.

Gum trees aren't far behind. There's something so invigorating about seeing the rolling hills painted by with their gangly stipped-white branches contrasting the Hawkesbury river every morning/evening on the train. If you look west (while you're still going through the mountains) they go on seemingly infinitely, but I swear you can still see their trunks and branches beckoning you through the foliage.

Sorry I don't have any better photos of the river surrounds, but yeah. I love seeing the rock faces peek behind the trees; there are little crevices in some places and I can never help but wonder what kind of cretins call such places home
