2 Norway Spruce

[lou210621]

I think the ones I have posted relate to the bird part questions, not the trees/shrubs

[lou210621]

spruce is 6 letters so doesn't fit (6,5)

[scorpiojo]

I think 2 must be a tree, lou.

[scorpiojo]

Good point, sorry :(

[scorpiojo]

,,do you think the letter count may be wrong?

Tree. The Trafalgar Square Christmas tree is typically a 50- to 60-year-old Norway spruce, generally over 20 metres tall. The tree is cut in Norway sometime in November during a ceremony attended by the British Ambassador to Norway, Mayor of Oslo, and Lord Mayor of Westminster.

3 = POPLAR (you "U" out of popular)

5. Corsican Blue ( a variety of Rosemary)

4 is likely to be "something" pear. The only 10 letter pear that I can think of is "conference" pear. BUT that does not really mean attractive.
Help required, but I think they ARE all trees and shrubs.
