Layers and tree heights

See the picture below from the layers section of Chief Talk.

I have imported a png into the plan but cannot set the height above ground so the trees show over the fences and walls as in this plan.

I did not bring the images in through the library as that did not allow the actual aerial view of the tree to show, just a drawing. I did the 

importing through File>Import>Picture.png 

Now when I try to open the image I can set the diameter but not the height above ground. Please help.

It has nothing to do with the height of the trees, it has to do with the display order.

Select the tree images and open the dbx.

Go to the Line Style panel...Drawing Group...scroll down and select 1 - Front.

This will make the tree images draw on top of other objects. 

By default, images go to the very back.

 

You can also access the same tool through the Edit toolbar which may be a better way because you get dynamic feedback as you change the order.
