Trees do not grow in meadows because the ground is too wet for their roots. You usually find meadows where there is an underground water source or surrounding lakes and ponds. As these water sources dry up, trees will begin to encroach and eventually overtake the meadow.

Most trees tend to flourish and grow near a water source. Unless a meadow is hiding a hidden underground water source the they will more than likely grow somewhere else like beside a creek. Most meadows are large areas BETWEEN water sources. Hence they are bare of large plants such as trees. If a tree does take root in such an environment it will probably not grow or it will be stunted and later die.

They do but once they grow too tall, then it's no longer a meadow. The meadow was probably created when something (fire, weather, etc) destroyed the trees in that particular area.

When an an area of trees have been, cut down,or knocked down, the ceiling has been lifted. The ground will now receive the much needed sunlight,rain,and all the blowing seeds it needs to have a beautiful meadow.

Trees need the deep soil. The meadows don't need that.

Either due to poor amount of rainfall or poor soil quality, or a combo of the two.
