This is what I do.
If you haven't already, download Winrar.
In your blockland folder, create a folder called release. In there, make a folder called whatever you want to name your map. In there, make a base folder, in that, a maps folder. Place your .mis, and, if you map has any, the .ter's, .dif, and any additional textures. So it will be like

Blockland
� � Release
� � � � Mapname
� � � � � � Base
� � � � � � � � Maps
� � � � � � � � � � map.mis
� � � � � � � � � � map.ter

Then right click on the Base folder inside the Mapname folder, select Add to 'Base.rar'. When it's done� compressing, rename Base.rar to something else, and upload.

Blockland
� � add-ons
� � � � Here you should put in any scripts you want a host to execute along with the map.
� � � � For example, Autumn Pond would have it's snail add-on here.
� � base

� � � � � � � � � � 4.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � 5.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � 6.jpg

� � � � � � � � Shape Textures (jpg)
� � � � � � terrains
� � � � � � � � Terrain Textures (jpg)
� � � � � � water

If this makes it any easier to understand how to package a map, here is how I might have packed Ice Pack. I modified it a bit so it would show how to pack every resource (if you download the map, you'll see I don't use a custom sky or ice cubes).

Blockland
� � add-ons
� � � � No_Lava.cs
� � base
� � � � data
� � � � � � missions
� � � � � � � � icepack.mis
� � � � � � � � icepack.jpg
� � � � � � � � icepack.ter
� � � � � � skies
� � � � � � � � winter
� � � � � � � � � � 1.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � 2.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � 3.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � 4.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � 5.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � 6.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � 7.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � resource.dml
� � � � � � foliage
� � � � � � � � tundra_grass.jpg
� � � � � � interiors
� � � � � � � � ice
� � � � � � � � � � octagoon.dif
� � � � � � � � � � red.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � sign.dif
� � � � � � � � � � sign.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � wood.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � metal.jpg
� � � � � � � � � � icesheet.dif
� � � � � � � � � � iceberg.dif
� � � � � � � � � � ice.jpg
� � � � � � shapes
� � � � � � � � iceblock.dts
� � � � � � � � iceblock.jpg
� � � � � � terrains
� � � � � � � � snow.jpg
� � � � � � water
� � � � � � � � overlay.jpg
� � � � � � � � winter.jpg

To answer your question, assuming you used the trees that were used in bedroom, you do not need to include them in your map since everyone has them. If you used ones from another map, they should be inside of the shapes folder, unless you used a foliage replicator instead of placing them as static shapes, in which case you should put them in the foliage folder.
