Slight lie - that's where I park when I go to visit my sister. What you can't see is their tink collection of a Lada Niva in matt black, a trashed Scimitar, Merc 190 which wants love, Saab 9000 that wants broken for parts and a couple of Peugeots that want crushed.

It has to be something to do with heavy snow and cold at winter, for example Elm tree don't like from these conditions so there are no such trees here.

Silver birch (white birch?) is perhaps most common tree here with green leaves that turn yellow and fell off at autumn, Scots pine is perhaps most common of our trees, they rise up in dense forests and to get most sunlight tree must grow taller than others around it so tree don't waste energy to grow many brances, that is why finnish pine is very wanted in forest industries as those are almost ready to use logs right when you take one down.

I don't think that those trees are common in UK?

no tree expert (sven will probably shoot me down) but 'big spread out thick ones with loads of branches' seem popular.
