Remove a tree?
Does anyone now how to remove an unwanted tree? I tried putting a small patch of dirt road over it which removed the tree but as soon as I bulldozed the road... Boom, back came the tree. I then tried putting a gazebo on top of it... the annoying tree just grew right through it! Any one have an idea? Thanks.

You can bulldoze the tree.

If you have the Forest Brush mod you can delete all trees within its circle by right-clicking

Remember this....if you zone over an area where trees are present and buildings begin popping up then the trees disappear. The game doesn't remove the trees.,,they are just hidden. Plus, if you have removed a lot of trees like this, the trees are still sucking away your RAM. Each tree does this a little, but hundreds of trees may hurt your game-play. It all matters about numbers!

Are you saying that even if I bulldoze a tree the game still loads an invisible tree there?

No, trees you delete/remove/billdoze disappear from your save forever. The only trees affected by what holbs said are the ones covered up by a network segment, plopped buildings or hidden by zoned growable buildings.

True - if you build over the tree (road, ploppable or zone) it simply hides the tree - it doesn't remove it. Use the bulldoze tool and it WILL remove the tree from the game.

Ehh, the bulldozer is too slow as it only removes one tree at a time. The Forest Brush mod is the better option as it provides a brush you can increase/decrease in size for mass deleting trees.

You can also delete trees with Move It. Select the Marquee tool, uncheck everything but trees, then draw your box, then click the bulldozer button, no trees.

If one has Extra Landscaping Tools, you can also use the tree tool from the landscaping menu, change the brush size, then right click and hold to erase trees as well.

During previous testing, it was found that if you wish to make a fertile ground area, any type of trees in said area would make the area less fertile. By painting a large tree area with the tree brush, then erasing it either by the right click method or Move It. If there are any trees under a road, they will not be removed and can affect said area.

you can doubleclick the tree checkbox (or any of the checkboxes) to quickly unselect everything else.

Right here for the mod:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1658679290&searchtext=forest++brush

And it'll be located on the toolbar to the right of the landscaping button, IIRC.
