Hey guys, I'm looking for a tree that has a wide canopy, like this: http://www.podcastshow.com/images/desktops/rather_large_tree_1280.jpg
obviously not that large, but something with a similar shape. Thanks!
Hehe I like the title of the image, understatement lol. Looks something like a holm oak and a boab tree, probably neither, if I get the chance I'll give it a go.

hmmm it might be a "live oak" ;)

The buttressed root sytem and canopy tends to make it look like a Moreton Bay Fig tree.
Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moreton_Bay_Fig - part of which tells that" ... It is widely used as a feature tree in public parks and gardens around the world in warmer climates such as California, Portugal, Sicily and of course Australia. Old specimens can reach tremendous size. Its aggressive root system precludes its use in all but the largest private gardens... "
I hope this may help anyone trying to make a model

thanks guys, these trees are basically what I'm after. I should check Ashundar's model section though, see if there's anything I could use
