How you attach trees really depends on the type of trees you are using.
Many trees have wire forming the body of the tree/trunk very similar to a bottle brush, which allows for the trunk to be sunk directly into the scenery. Simply push them down into your baseboard if using polystyrene or similar, or drill a small hole if using wood.
Some trees come with a plastic base that resembles the exposed root system of the tree. These are OK if you plan to place them on a flat area of your layout and they can be glued into place. If your trees do not come with a plastic base these can be bought separately.
If you do not want to glue the trees, you can use Tacky Wax to fix them on your layout. You will be able to move them at a later stage if required.
