> **Features*** Adds 6700+ short (ie, 1-4 m) trees to the tundra; creating a lightweight Boreal forest.
> * Forest that becomes denser as you travel further from civilization, embodying the remoteness of the wilderness.
> * Careful positioning and sizing of trees to preserve the mountain vista characteristic of Whiterun.
> * Compatible with all flora, grass, and tree mods.
> * Highly optimized with expected performance cost of ~3 FPS for mid-range PC's.

>   
> **Installation**  
> **Custom Tree Mods Installation Instructions**  
> * Install the main file.
> * Install the appropriate billboards for whichever tree mods you are using in your preferred overwrite order.
> * Generate tree LODs using xEdit, xLODGen or DynDOLOD (3D Trees are supported using DynDOLOD).
> * Install the output from generation to your data directory or as new mod in your mod manager mod.
> 
>   
> Explanation: Billboards are two dimensional images of trees. When you generate tree   
> LOD, two things occur. One, the billboards are compiled into a tree LOD   
> atlas, which is a single texture that contains all the tree LOD textures  
>  (this is great for performance). Two, it generates a series of files   
> that informs the game where to express tree LODs (e.g., all over   
> Whiterun Tundra), the size of each tree in game, and the position of a   
> particular tree LOD image on the atlas texture.
