According to the box text, the Land family graveyard is shaded by a "copse of immense deklo trees."
What's a "deklo tree"?
It's a tree native to the Greyhawk setting. A tree not usually found in the Cairn Hills, I would think. The Cairn hills are typically painted with drab patches of scraggly grass scattered across barren hillsides pierced by rocky grey outcroppings, with a few healthy lilac bushes and small cedars down among the streambeds.
DEKLO TREES:
These are massive hardwoods often 15 ft. in diameter and over 100 ft. tall. They have thick, strong branches that grow almost parallel to the ground. The leaves of the tree are nearly round and grow in thick clumps. On a mature deklo, leaves will be over 1 ft. in diameter. These trees tend to grow in groves, excluding other forms of vegetation.

A strong thick tree over a hundred feet tall with branches that grow parallel to the ground? Where were these back when I was building treehouses?
In the South, they are called Magnolia trees :)
Loved climbing those as a kid.
I've been daydreaming about climbing magnolias since reading your reply this morning. However, I wouldn't know a magnolia from a copper beech. Must research this.
