Like nsmindy I had to resort to Bradford’s for a couple of the trees, especially HUON PINE.

I worked out some of the trees from the wordplay, then went to Bradford’s Crossword Dictionary which I use a lot for the Listener and they were pretty much all there. Excellent clues as always from Phi though I’ll have to admit finding a lot of trees (mainly new to me) was not very interesting in itself.
