Those are nice looking trees. I purchased some conifers made by Grand Central Gems, (got them from Walthers) they are called pines but look more like Spruce to me:
This tree is 7" tall . My opinion is the trees do not have to be scale height to give the impression of mature trees.
I had lots of trees on my old layout and put the tallest ones out of the way where I would not snag them. I tried using some trees that would be like 70-80' tall but those would be 9"+ tall in HO scale and that did not look right to my eyes, maybe because buildings, roads, etc. are somewhat compressed.
I know there are lots of trees over 70' tall in Northern Wisconsin, even up to 115' tall.
