Trees & plants library · 74 blocks · 29 in 3D
CAD blocks of trees in plan view (top view) for site plans, urban projects and landscape layouts, in meters and in inches, 45 of them: outline canopies (scalloped, serrated, cloud-shaped, faceted), leafy and textured canopies, radial and starburst symbols, branching and bare trees, and palm and yucca rosettes. Each is drawn 1:1 in plan and comes as DWG and DXF in meters and in inches, SVG and PNG; 29 as a 3D model in STEP, OBJ, GLB, 3MF and STL. Counting each view and each 3D model on its own, the library holds 74 blocks.

All 45 at one scale, packed like a sheet of blocks, with a person in plan for scale. Click a drawing to open its block; the width is under each one, the depth and every format are on the block page.
The tree drawings side by side, as on the library sheet.
All 45 drawings of the library in one ZIP, one AutoCAD 2013 DWG per block, drawn 1:1, in meters or in inches. Each block page has its own files too, with DXF, SVG, PNG and the 3D model.
74 blocks of 5 kinds, every canopy at the spread of a grown tree; the sizes below are the drawings' own, in feet and inches (switch units at the top of the page). By symbol: 21 with leaves drawn, 8 with branches drawn, 7 with a trunk circle or a center mark, 2 with a shadow or one-side shading. The table gives each canopy as drawn, across by across; scale a block uniformly to the spread of the species you plant.

Site plans, landscape and planting plans, campus and park plans, and the trees round a building on a floor plan. A plan block stands for the canopy: its size is the spread of the grown tree, and its style tells the kind at a glance.
Planting rules of thumb that work for most site plans: draw the canopy at its mature spread; keep a tree at least half its mature spread from the building, and large shade trees 15 to 20 ft (4.5 to 6 m) or more from the foundations; space street trees about 25 to 40 ft (7.5 to 12 m) apart, closer for small species.
The canopy at the spread of the grown tree. The trees in this library measure 9' 5" to 18' 3" (2.86 m to 5.55 m) across, the spread of small to medium trees; scale a block uniformly for a larger shade tree.
A common rule of thumb: at least half the mature spread of the canopy from the wall, and 15 to 20 ft (4.5 to 6 m) or more for large trees, so roots and branches keep clear of the foundations and the roof.
Yes: 29 trees have a 3D model built from the plan, which gives no height: a dome crown whose top view is the drawing, on a trunk at its center, the whole tree 1.2 times as tall as its spread; many have a see-through crown with the trunk branching inside.
