I've only got four clues left to solve two of which still involve trees. I don't think that I have made any errors, although there are some strange trees.
I have two ashes and two elms With the letters that I have in the grid the other tree mentioned twice is either fir or oak, for 14 and/ or 18dn. I'm also stuck on 8dn and 13 ac.
Any clues or hints please ?

............ the tree is ITA, which is a palm and hence TRITA.

Well done! Even with that answer for 13A, I've still got another five clues to answer. But I'll go on looking for as long as my patience lasts! Cheers
I've got one left 22ac - Bits and pieces of stone pitchers (5). Since I can not solve the cryptic clue I have tried to work backwards.

The check letters are ?I?E?. This suggests FIR, PINE or LIME . It cant be FIR as this would give too many duplicate trees. The only anagram for LIME I can think of is MILE, so this leaves me with PINE. This gives an anagram of PENI - according to Chambers OE for penny. As these letters are in the middle of "stoNE PIctures" I wondered if I was thinking along the right lines?

Aperio,

You're almost there.........
the real answer is in the clue and means computer bits ; one of the trees that you mention is the right one.
Just put the two together and you should be there !
P.S. The clue is "stone pitchers" and not "pictures"
What a nit! Many thanks Ulysses
