Ferrian's Tree Shoppe by Toby Ferrian
A picture catalogue of (almost) every known Tree Controller Mod for SimCity 4
Note: I did not create any of these mods. This thread is simply to display each tree controller mod using the same city tile for easy comparison. If you find this useful bookmark or follow this thread. All images are hosted right here on Simtropolis, so they will likely be around for as long as the site stays up. All of the content in this post is freely available under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license, meaning you can share any part of this post as long as you attribute it to me.
For people with 16:9 (or other wide screen) monitors, or a dual monitor setup, you can open this thread in two separate windows side by side. This allows you to have independent scroll bars to compare specific mods, but if you spread it across multiple monitors there may be some slight color difference between the two.
For those that don't know what a tree controller is: A tree controller mod is a mod that replaces the trees that appear when you use the god mode tree brush.

Note: If you download a mod and have any difficulty with it and when all else fails, read the ReadMe instructions that come with it.
All of the pictures below were taken of the same hill with Maxis textures and shadows disabled. Due to the limited terrain variation not all trees are shown, and results may vary depending on your terrain and textures.
If there are any tree controllers I forgot to add, let me know and I'll add them as soon as possible.
The spoilers contain important information, so check them.
Maxis trees:

My personal favorite tree controller.

Works with flora blast
CPT Olympic Coast Tree Controller by cycledogg:
CPT Missouri Breaks Tree Controller by cycledogg:
Yes, it's supposed to look this barren. With this tree controller, trees only show up in areas with high moisture. To find areas with high moisture, use this mod.
CPT Meadowshire River Tree Mod by cycledogg:
Like the Missouri Breaks tree controller above, it's supposed to be this barren.
CPT Painted Desert Tree Controller by cycledogg:
HBS Yucatan Tropical Tree Mod 1:
HBS Californian Mediterranean Tree Controller:
HBS Chihuahuan Desert Flora Mod
Central European Tree Controller by 11241036

This is the "Coast Regular" variant of the mod.
Monkeywater's Always Green and Very Coniferous Tree Controller by monkeywater:
FedEx Tree Controller by missing dependencies:
This is what you get when you don't read the ReadMe-s and descriptions, and don't install the dependencies. So again, read everything in the description and ReadMe file for the mod you choose. Unless, of course, you like the brown boxes enough to fill your city tiles with them.
