I would like to suggest placing a Fangorn-sized Mallorn tree right in the middle of the hill of Caras Galadhon. This makes it far easier for players to construct Celeborn's House, because 'normal' giant mallorn trees are still too small for a proper tree-palace.

NOTE: this is not a fixed structure, just a tree. In my opinion, it is equal to the hills/mountains that are already in the mod (Caras Galadhon, Edoras, Mt Doom etc etc). Not Fangorn-shaped, but a Fangorn/Redwood-height Mallorn. Fangorn trees are pretty ugly-shaped :P

If we're considering more famed trees, the Party Tree and Old Man Willow are more ideas...

I agree about the height. I usually grow my 5x5 mallorn trees 30 blocks in the air and make a trunk with better roots underneath it. It looks very ugly, because the canopies of mellyrn are just flat discs of branches with a little bit of leaves. No volume whatsoever.

So either we have the fangorn style tree, or a revamp of the old 5x5 mellyrn to make this work.
