Would that I knew how to (or possessed sufficient seniority) to post a picture or two of trees that matter... but I don't/can't. I'd even appreciate someone telling me how to get that singular golf quote at the bottom of my posts. I have one from Wodehouse and placing it here would be less complicated or painful than getting it tattooed on my arm, which I've also considered.
In the regard of significant trees, allow me to mention the club where I play in my league matches, Kelly Blake Moran's Lederach in Harleysville outside Philadelphia. Two holes, (#8 and #10 in particular) taught me a lot about trees. At #10, a dogleg left, 411-yard hole from the back tees, there is a 60-foot tree resting 80 yards from the green center, directly on a line to 70% of the possible pin positions. It's a fairly wide tree as well so that most players face the issues of "over, draw around the right side, or fade around the left". Further complicating the shot, there's a bunker directly in front. a hazard behind, a grass bunker left and sand to the right... and as if that weren't enough, the green slopes front to back. I respect leaving the tree as genius architecture that makes #10 far more interesting and challenging!
Now let me talk about Lederach #8! It's a short par 4 of just 372 from the tips. The green features a false front and a deep pot bunker, front-left of the green. I don't want to focus on the trees that come into play in the fairway about 170 out from the tee on the right, though I will say they are there... they knock down a lot of balls... and they force play from the tee to the right and over a centrally placed bunker that (if entered) resets the expected score on the hole to 5. It's all of 265 to carry that middle bunker from the tee. No... the tree that I want to mention was a tall oak that stood almost pin high on the left of the green. Lightning took the tree out maybe 3-4 years ago, changing the 8th hole from a par 4.2 to a par 3.8. That tree took out any approach from the left, even if one might have been lucky enough to find that part of the fairway trees, which were "90% air". It also dumped many an approach into the aforementioned pot bunker. I can't say that I miss the greenside tree... but I understand.
Best piece of hitting through trees after accepting that they are in fact 90% air came from a Scottish caddy, who opined, "Aye sir, they are 90% air but then so's a screen door." Following his guidance, I put the 5-iron back in the bag and made "fairway" my target rather than "green".
