28 of the most favourite video game trees ever

The mana tree from Secret of Mana

"Like me its got a huge trunk and magic nuts." - ithurtstopoop

The pink cherry blossoms from Okami

"Every time I entered a new area, I had the obsessive-compulsive urge to hunt down every last tree and restore life to it. Seeing the area covered in beautiful pink cherry blossoms really added colour and vibrancy to each location. Also, the way that the petals move in the gentle breeze looks lovely too." - Clovin64
