My favorite tree would be the quaking aspen

Pando is a massive clonal colony of a single male quaking aspen (Populus tremuloides) in Utah's Fishlake National Forest, considered the world's heaviest and one of the oldest living organisms. It appears as a forest of over 40,000 "trees" (stems) but is connected by a single, massive root system, making all stems genetically identical. Pando spans 106 acres, weighs an estimated 13 million pounds, and is nicknamed the "Trembling Giant" for its quaking leaves, with its age estimated to be thousands of years old, possibly originating after the last ice age.
This tree can appear to be an entire forest but really they are all from the same tree which I thought was so interesting it is my favorite right now what is yours
