There are many different species of trees in the Grand Theft Auto games, ranging from the towering redwoods in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas to the stalky, leafy maple trees found predominantly throughout Grand Theft Auto IV and tropical trees found in the Caribbean in Grand Theft Auto Online.
In some Grand Theft Auto games such as GTA San Andreas, trees grow naturally in the wilderness. Trees are indestructible to the player and can not be destroyed nor damaged, except some roadside trees in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and a few small trees in the countryside in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Trees have appeared in every Grand Theft Auto series since the first Grand Theft Auto game. Trees are plants with a large stem or 'trunk' that supports large limbs called branches that in turn have leaves.
