Pretty accurate, flattering too.
 
Hmm... I'm an Ash. Despite the fact that the summary of the personality is worse than the Chinese calendar, I must say the only tree left standing on our lawn is a Mountain Ash.
 
Poplar: Uncertainty; Looks very decorative, no self-confident behavior, only courageous if necessary, needs goodwill and pleasant surroundings, very choosy, often lonely, great animosity, artistic nature, good organizer, tends to philosophy, reliable in any situation, takes partnership serious.

<chuckles> Some yes, some no.
 
Well, I'm a lime, but some of it wasn't true. Namely the lazy part and the complaining part.
 
I'm an apple tree.

I'm a fig tree

Fig Tree: The Sensible One, Very strong, a bit self-willed, independent, does not allow contradiction or arguments, loves life, its family, children and animals, a bit of a butterfly, good sense of humor, likes idleness and laziness, of practical talent and intelligence.

I would say some of it fit.
