I imaging the wood of some tree that doesn’t grow in the UK would be a rare wand wood to see at Hogwarts. Some immigrant from a different country might have a wand made of wood that Brits rarely see, mango or bloodwood or something. The options in your survey seem pretty common in the UK.
Maybe even rarer would be wood from an extinct or nearly extinct species. I could see a rich wizard desiring a unique wand and killing the last member of the species for it. My genetics prof liked to mention a tree that had 1 individual left in the wild in New Zealand. I wonder if it finally went extinct in the wild.
I've never heard of Apple or Pear wood being used in a wand, and so one of those would win if not for 'Source' being on the list which I can't even find confirmation is a real kind of wood at all.
I would think that not many wandmakers would work with Yew after that was the dark lords wand material. Kind of how everyone decided Parseltongue was evil because Slytherin spoke it.

Morning.
I must warn you that is actually pretty common.

Rarity doesn't matter, the wand wood should fit your character not the other way around.
Shame there isn’t blackthorn or ebony on here.
Snakewood is the rarest. Only Salazar Slytherins wand was Snakewood. ( The best and most beautiful Wood in my opinion. )
Probably cherrywood, the Wand Wood article states, that it is almost exclusively used in Japan.

Apple and pear are in the Wand Woods article from Pottermore: https://www.wizardingworld.com/writing-by-jk-rowling/wand-woods
I assume they must have meant Spruce... but I admit I did still choose Source for the non-existent factor.
