I’m not sure that’s possible with terrain trees. I think you might have to use ordinary GameObjects in the scene, if you want to be able to do things like that.

Well, have you tried a Google (or your favorite search engine) search? I just did, and it quickly came up with [this thread](https://forum.unity3d.com/threads/how-to-chop-tree-down-in-unity-terrain.202991/) explaining how it’s done.
(From a quick perusal, it looks like we were both right: you can’t cut down a terrain tree, but you can detect when the user is trying to, and quickly replace the terrain tree with a “real” GameObject tree.)

Not sure if you want to buy something, but the [Trees Manager System](https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/43129) was set up to do what you’re looking for.
