Hello guys,
I just start digging the fantastic world of UE and I started with UE5, I was wondering if there are some Tree collections available for this latest release … what I see in the marketplace is still only for UE4x

Thanks for your reply

I am also to new unrealengine. I installed UE4 today becauae my passion is to create games. I go to college from Monday to Friday. I have some questions I need to ask you guys: 1- Do I need to learn C++ Language? Or the engine do it for me?

Hi @anonymous_user_ea9d1c3a and others , Have a look at YouTube Unreal Engine 5 Impostor Generator for Tree on Landscape - YouTube.
Read this post about trees. [FREE] Realistic Tree Pack - Community / Community Content, Tools and Tutorials - Unreal Engine Forums UE5 automatically converts assets from UE4.26 backward. Click the make a copy button and 5.0 is added to the filename

@anonymous_user_ea9d1c3a
I have bought for $10 the content in the article described above using the post above. The point is its a project originally for UE 4.13, but its converted much better that UE 4.24.

There is only one error map error. If you convert them to Nanite the trees break!
There is an error in the top left and Lighting needs to be rebuilt and. This content won’t rebuild. It’s so old it will take manual intervention to fix it. That why Nnanite fails below, Ii had not realised that before

Well it looks like the UE5.0 EA importer does its job, but obviously as I have shown the old Content might not be so easy to convert. If you intend to buy something for $10 fine you have not lost much, but if its $70 and the supplier says 4.26 compatible and its not working in UE 5, then you have no grounds to get you money back!
