Your guide tells you how in Tolkien's books, there is a reference to hobbits sitting under plum trees, and how in New Zealand, plum trees grow too big to be the right scale for a hobbit so Peter Jackson had apple and pear trees, stripped of their fruit and replaced them with fake

When the leaves faded in the sun, someone was employed to repaint them, one by one! Walk past the Mill and the famous Party Tree that were created for "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" films.
