I bought a set of four and have them toward the back of my layout where they look fine (to me).  They are about the same height as the K-Line by Lionel ranch house.  Later I saw some by Woodland Scenics, and they have a better selection.

Follow the link below to see some nice, inexpensive trees.

Scene Scape by Bachmann Trees 

We have Life Like trees on our layout. They are fine for pruned trees one would see in a yard, but don't look natural enough to represent wild trees. And they are small.

The Bachmann trees are much taller and more realistic looking.

Re: Life-Like Brand Trees

I just bought 8 boxes of these at the last train show I was at. They are not 'realistic' but at $5 per box I couldn't pass them up. They will be placed intermixed with other more realistic trees as filler in the mountains and I may try and 'real' them up a little.

If you get a good deal on them I would say go ahead and pick some up (I bought some in the 3-4 and 4-5 inch range).
