(I don't see Yunlan able to identify trees beyond a basic "has leaves" or "has needles", either... Shen Wei would be able to be more specific but let's be real: if Yunlan's standing by a tree Shen Wei's not looking at the tree.)
Lol! And I completely agree. I think a lot of it depends on the character whose pov you're seeing the fic through or who's talking. If it's someone with expertise in that area, then yeah, they probably would note the specific kind of tree (of if they're waxing poetic about plants and trees to the other character, who's lost AF but listening patiently because they're just that fond of them).
Otherwise, I'd just call it a tree. If a certain type of tree is important to what's happening in the scene, I would probably describe it rather than name it.
