Reverted the 'outer tree' to Birch in Museum, dev area, and saved to structure file too.
After further investigation, I have (so far) not seen Birch Trees generating in Sunflower Plains biomes. I've checked 3 randomly generated 1.20.1 worlds, and the edges of 5 Sunflower Plains biomes across each of them.
Previously I saw them generated near the edges of Sunflower Plains where they met a biome that did generate Birch Trees naturally (often a Forest or Flower Forest).
I suspect this was an unintended bug in Minecraft's terrain generation process, where one biome was being overwritten by another after the physical terrain had been generated.
I am now seeing Birch Trees generating correctly just inside the biome of the Forest (1 block outside Sunflower Plains), but none of the previous bugged generation examples yet.
I am seeing consistent examples of Birch Trees generating (at ground level) inside a Forest, but with other portions of the trunk and leaves being in a Sunflower Plains. I think this is expected behaviour, as a result of the 3D biomes changes.
For now (and without a suitable solution) I intend to leave a Birch Tree on the Home Chunk inside the Sunflower Plains for vanilla-completeness.
I will look for opportunities to find a vanilla-consistent location for a Birch Tree elsewhere in the arena in future.
I have completed this change, but want to keep an eye on other places to potentially include a Birch Tree in future.
Need to make this change for vanilla-completeness, as I am removing the Flower Forest, along with the Birch Trees there.
Although Minecraft claims not to generate Birch Trees in Sunflower Plains (Home Chunk), I consistently see them generating in Plains and Sunflower Plains biomes, up to at least 1.19. I should check 1.20 for this too.
