In Westchester County NY lots of maple , (red back white ) oak , birch and hemlock. I had to cut down ( roots breaking foundation ) a 50 foot oak. I don't think a month goes by when I don't see a tree being taken down ( by a home owner , the highway dept. or a utility). We are just north of New York Ciry but we have a wealth of trees.
I have to say oak is a great wood to work with but hell to live with, the trees drop more crap and pollen then most.
