| I'm wanting to build a beer garden modeled after Viktualienmarkt's in
Munich. It will probably be on a 48x48 plate so I'll have room for at least
4-5 large "bushy" trees, but I'm struggling to find inspiration online.
Most of the the trunks I'm seeing are built from square bricks/slopes and
they just don't look right.
The Rivendell set looks like it has some really interesting ones but they need
about 8x the amount of leaves and 2x broader foliage. I know we can't post
links but are there any obvious ones in the lego realm I'm not seeing?

Slightly bigger than your request, but might be good for inspiration.
Feel free to contact if you'd like more detailed images of these trees.

Wow! Stunning recreation of the various tree species! No idea who the artist
is (art it is, imho) but they are beautiful! Such a level of impression of life
and the living with mere LEGO, always moves me. Brings to mind, Miro's
talent with living subjects.
While being perhaps overly impressed is no doubt because it's so far beyond
my own abilities, the capacity to move others with your work, goes straight to
the innate portion of talent. The nature of the individual, as I see it.

These look great, I think the one to the right of the red tree in the back is
what I'm going for. The (real life) trees there are Chestnut trees, so the
branches are relatively low and spread out very wide at the bottom. In LEGOese,
I think the biggest one would be 30 bricks tall (just above the roofline of Assembly
Square) and about ~24 studs in diameter.
As much as I would prefer a rounded truck I think to support that many leaves
it's going to have to have a larger more angular base. Where I'm struggling
is how to to get branches to extend 10 studs off the trunk.

Honestly for trees, I build based on what I've hoarded over the years or
what I can find cheap. Foliage has always been a premium, and its one of the
few parts I don't sell very much of because I save most of them. I have a
few in my store only to have variety.
I've literally bought bulk lots just to pick out the tree parts and then
resell the rest as bulk again.
I'd get parts first then think about how to use them, personally.
