It's totally possible to make a terrain in Blender and import it to your engine as a gigantic static mesh. But you don't want to include stuff like Trees in your terrain mesh. Those are better made a separate object. Especially for ...

A slightly simpler solution, which is immune to roll in most cases:
//Get the rotation we would apply to the child to make it look at the target
Quaternion rotation = Quaternion....

It can work for smaller and less detailed landscapes. But with larger and high-detail landscapes, you will run into performance problems. You will need LOD, occlusion culling and perhaps even dynamic loading and unloading of parts of the landscape. With most engines, none of that can work if the whole landscape is just one block of geometry.
Which is why ...
