Most modellers tend to underestimate the size of trees.
Obviously, the size will depend on the tree but oaks can grow to 30 to 40m (that is 100ft tall), pine trees are 50 to 60m (200ft tall) and beech trees are 12 to 18m (40 to 60ft tall).
Wargamers in 28mm use a scale that is roughly 1/56.
So a oak tree should be 70cm tall (more than 2ft), a pine tree should be a meter tall (more than a yard) and beech trees should be up to 30cm tall (a foot).
Most wargamers would agree that this would make trees too overwhelming and settle for smaller ones.
In conclusion, this is a matter of personal choice: do you want accuracy or do do you want something more manageable?
