For the first tree, topping off the Support is a 1x1 Round Plate and a Travis Brick with four Trunks w/Bar End (Long Straight Tip) plugged into it and four Small Palm Leaves attached to the Trunks. There's a 1x1Round Plate w/Twist on top of the Travis Brick. This tree is 24 feet tall in 6P scale and can take 2 Hits before being destroyed.
The second design has a lot of flat edges but it looks "right" to me. A 2x2 Brick w/Pins & Axle Hole sits on top of the Support. Two Curved Slopes 2x1x1.33 w/Recessed Stud are mounted on the pins from the 2x2 Brick with 3x4 Plant Leaves attached to them. A 2x2 Round Plate goes on top of the 2x2 Brick then four more 3x4 Plant Leaves topped off by a 2x2 Round Tile. This tree is 24 feet tall in 6P scale and can take 2 Hits before being destroyed.
This next one changes things up a bit by using a Technic Pin Connector 3L w/2 Pins & Center Hole as part of the trunk on top of the Support. Two 1x1 Round Bricks are placed on the pins from Connector, then eight -- four and four -- 3x4 Plant Leaves are placed onto the Round Bricks to make the canopy. This tree is 27 feet tall in 6P scale and can take 2 Hits before being destroyed.
Another thing I figured out while building these is that the 3x3 Plate makes a good base for this size tree. Once again I hope I've given people ideas or techniques to use in their terrain builds.
