All large trees growing well over 20 metre plus.

Alas, I am not a master of all things Arboreal.....but that's what they say. I thought the Sycamore would be there too. I am from the North East of England though, we really need some posh git from the Home Counties to set the record straight . You should see some of the trees in County Durham, they look like skyscrapers relative to this 'Bonsai' affair lol.

I agree that it is very important to get this right however, as it has to look like England. These are of course all WIP people, so give them a break.

I would say the Royal Horticultural Society would be the definitive source on these matters, without doubt.....So check them out!

Well don't forget the Poplar/Aspen either, an ancient native tree

Mixture of Poplar Oak and hedgerow on country lane in Kent. I know this wont be modelled but it gives an idea to those wondering what it looks like

Alot of the country roads 60 years ago were like this due to lack of traffic.
