It depends on what the tree is resisting with -
"Tree leaping magic" vrs Mundane tree, the tree *only* gets the 14, no
matter if it's 10 feet ot 300 feet high.
TLM vrs "Magical tree" - If the tree is using "tall" as the primary defense,
then it (obviously) can't augment with "tall" (no double-dipping!). If the
Tree is using something else as its primary defense, then it can augment
with Tall as with any other ability.
