Hi Maria,

LyX and LaTeX were never intended to make drawings or diagrams. Not
really. Just take 20 minutes to make your drawing in Inkscape, then put
it in your LyX document just like you'd put any old .png or more to the
point .svg. LyX automatically recompiles your Inscape-produced .svg
into a PDF suitable for LyX/LaTeX upon finding that the .svg has
changed.

You know what it's supposed to look like, so you can draw it yourself.
For new work where you need a new "forest", whatever this "forest"
thing is, find a forest making software that can export to .svg,
and then you can either use that .svg, or modify it a little in
Inkscape.
