* The vast majority of ''VideoGame/{{Quest 64}}''[='s=] trees don't reach up past about three times Brian's height, be they evergreen or deciduous. Even the taller ones are only about two stories tall. The various forests have more realistically-sized trees (but not in ''Quest RPG'').

* Averted in ''VideoGame/TheSims'' games; trees are an appropriate tree height in comparison to Sims.

* Both used and averted in ''VideoGame/NeverwinterNights''. In the Rural tileset, the trees are both [[InsurmountableWaistHeightFence ludicrously thick]] and not exceptionally tall (being about one terrain-height variation tall, or about 5m). On the other hand, the Forest tileset has much more reasonably-spaced trees, all of which grow far past the point where the engine stops rendering (about 20m up).

* ''VideoGame/GoldenSun2001'': When moving around on the overworld, trees come up to your sprite's waist. Background screens during a battle and forested locations such as Kolima and Mogall show more realistic trees.

* In ''Franchise/TheElderScrolls'' series' backstory, St. Veloth was the legendary [[OurElvesAreBetter Chimer]] mystic who led his people [[DefectorFromDecadence away from the decadence]] of the Summerset Isles to their new homeland in Morrowind. He was said to have brought the seeds of trees with him from the Summerset Isle and planted them in Vvardenfell. With ashy, volcanic soil not being the best supporter of vegetation, the trees that took were sparse and remained quite small. This can be seen in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind Morrowind]]'', where trees are sparse, limited only to the greener areas of the island, and generally remain small across Vvardenfell. Justified since it is mostly an ashy, volcanic island which doesn't support much in the way of vegetation.

* Trees in ''VideoGame/SeriousSam'' had a poor tree growth. ''Serious Sam II'' somewhat improves it (Magnor doesn't count since it's a MacroZone).

* ''VideoGame/GoldenSunTheBrokenSeal'': When moving around on the overworld, trees come up to your sprite's waist. Background screens during a battle and forested locations such as Kolima and Mogall show more realistic trees.

* In ''VideoGame/{{Don't Starve}}'', even the tallest trees - both evergreen and deciduous - are only around three times the height of the SuperDeformed player characters, and around the same height as the more realistically proportioned NPC Maxwell. [[WhenTreesAttack Treeguards]] are somewhat taller, since they have arms and legs attached to the tree.
