Can Web be cast amongst trees?

I would have the outer edges of the web be limited by the availability of trees.
That's exactly how I adjudicate. Indoors, too. Any area covered by webs has to be within the area of effect and between two eligible points.

Sure, I can see a vertical section of web between two trees of almost any width of tree, but a cube 40' on a side? I think not without a lot of thickly packed trees.. (which would impede movement and seriously limit viewable distance through said trees, neither of which applied)..

It isn't a cube, it's a burst - shaped like a Fireball (globe but extending into adjacent spaces and around corners). I'd let a caster anchor a globe between two points on two solid trees.

The spell description wording is a bit muddled of course: the examples given for 'points' (wals and such) aren't really points at all, they are surfaces. Since a Web appears to be globular in shape though, I go with the word 'points' and use the examples only as illustration for what 'solid' means.
 

Sounds like we'll all have to agree to disagree.

I retract my earlier comment as it sounds like the GM made a reasonable call at the time. I don't necessarily agree with it, but that doesn't matter. :)
