I like the Sakura Trees (Elwynn in bloom like cherry trees) look, and I've looked and looked for the blp that is the texture for the Elwynn trees.
I've determined that the textures within:
World / AZEROTH / ELWYNN / PASSIVEDOODADS / Tree (And Trees)
Are Not the correct ones. And I can't find other ones.
Anyone know where the correct texture is stored?

Ok, it seems I've also found it's not in world-azeroth-redridge-passivedoodads-trees-ElwynnCanopySomething.blp
Also I've tried altering the redridgecanopysomething.blp and the RedridgeMidCanopyorsomething.blp and nothing happens then, either.
Dude.
Where are the tree canopy/leaves textures. And what are these textures for, that I'm changing, and don't appear to actually appear anywhere in the game. -_-

Ok, I've learned something else.
Deconstructing Puff's Sakura forest patch: [World Edit] Puff's Sakura Elwynn!
It seems that there is a no-longer used texture located in World-Generic-Human-Passive Doodads-StormWind-ElwynnTreeTallCanopy_New01.blp She references this texture in her patch. My current (July 2010) Common.mpq file does not have a StormWind folder, and also no ElwynnTreeTallCanopy_New01.blp that I can find, anywhere. So, either they moved the Elwynn texture somewhere else, or it's in a patch and I haven't found it, or .... something.
BUT
I extracted Puff's pink Tree canopy file, CREATED a StormWind folder, plunked the file in there, and it DOES work.
Now, this pleases me, but it still doesn't make sense. Why did it work if the path is defunct? And where is the 'real' texture located now?
Any thoughts?
