Homogentisic acid Homogentisic acid (2,5-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid) is a phenolic acid usually found in "Arbutus unedo" (strawberry-tree) honey. It is also present in the bacterial plant pathogen "Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli" as well as in the yeast "Yarrowia lipolytica" where it is associated with the production of brown pigments.

Ulmus minor Ulmus minor , the field elm, is by far the most polymorphic of the European species, although its taxonomy remains a matter of contention. Its natural range is predominantly south European, extending to Asia Minor and Iran; its northern outposts are the Baltic islands of Öland and Gotland, although it may have been introduced here by man. The tree's typical habitat is low-lying forest along the main rivers, growing in association with oak and ash, where it tolerates summer floods as well as droughts.

Kongeegen Kongeegen (the King Oak) is a renowned oak tree in Denmark. It grows in "Jægerspris Nordskov" (Jægerspris North Forest) near Jægerspris, on the island of Sjælland. A scientific investigation in 1965 of the tree's rings indicated that the tree has an estimated age of 1450–1900 years, and may well be the oldest living oak in northern Europe. It probably originally grew in an open meadow, to account for its short trunk and low branching, with other taller forest trees growing up around it subsequently. The taller trees around it are now shading it and slowly killing it. Kongeegen is located in the same forest as Snoegen and Storkeegen.

Scots pine Scots pine ("Pinus sylvestris" L.) is a species of pine that is native to Eurasia, ranging from Western Europe to Eastern Siberia, south to the Caucasus Mountains and Anatolia, and north to well inside the Arctic Circle in Scandinavia. In the north of its range, it occurs from sea level to 1,000 m , while in the south of its range it is a high altitude mountain tree, growing at 1200 – altitude.

Torreya grandis Torreya grandis ((pinyin=Xiāngfěi) is a species of conifer in either the family Taxaceae, or Cephalotaxaceae. "T. grandis" is a large tree that can attain height of 25 m , and possibly as high as 39 m . "T. grandis" is endemic to eastern and south-eastern China; it is found in the coastal provinces Fujian, Zhejiang, and Jiangsu, as well as in Anhui, Guizhou, Hunan, and Jiangxi inland. Its natural habitat are mountains and open valleys, often by streams, between 200 - ASL. One common name is Chinese nutmeg yew (although it is not related to nutmeg, and the true yews belong to the genus "Taxus"), which refers to its edible seeds that superficially resemble nutmeg () and its yew-like foliage. The seeds can be pressed for oil. The wood is used in construction and furniture. "T. grandis" is used as an ornamental tree in Europe and North America.

Ore-pine Ore-pine (Norwegian: "malmfuru" ; Swedish: "malmfura" ; Danish: "malmfyr" ; Icelandic: "málmfura" ) is a cured pinewood used extensively in the Middle Ages in the construction of Scandinavian stave churches. Ore-pine is the heartwood of prepared old-growth mountain pines; the trees had their branches removed and were left to stand, the tree resins bleeding upward and out through the cut branches and thus making the heartwood more resinous. The resultant ore-pine is much more resistant to rot and decay, as evidenced by stave churches surviving from the 12th and 13th centuries.

Larix decidua Larix decidua, common name European larch, is a species of larch native to the mountains of central Europe, in the Alps and Carpathian Mountains as well as the Pyrenees, with disjunct lowland populations in northern Poland and southern Lithuania. Its life span is given by different authorities as anything between 100 and 350 years, but the most reliable is normally about 200 years. It is claimed that one of the larches planted by the second Duke of Atholl at Dunkeld in 1738 is still standing.

Ulmus laevis Ulmus laevis , variously known as the European white elm, fluttering elm, spreading elm, stately elm and, in the USA, the Russian elm, is a large deciduous tree native to Europe, from France northeast to southern Finland, east as far as the Urals, and southeast to Bulgaria and the Crimea; there are also disjunct populations in the Caucasus and Spain, the latter now considered a relict population rather than an introduction by man, and possibly the origin of the European population. "U. laevis" is rare in the UK, however its random distribution, together with the absence of any record of its introduction, has led at least one British authority to consider it native.
