Default Books on Chinese Trees

Iceland, according to my Icelandic botanist friend, has about 200
native plant species total. (Ah, the joys of botanizing in a formerly
glaciated area--totality is within grasp!) I don't think there is
anything truly tree-sized there. All the Salix species, for instance,
are little knee-high shrubby sorts.

How high is "truly tree-sized"?
Trees over 20 m high can be found in many places in Iceland.
