<p>I'm confused as to whether 几棵参天大树字 refers to trees (树), or characters (字).  The measure word 棵 suggests it's referring to trees, but the 字 at the end makes it sound like it's referring to gigantic characters (like you would have at an amusement park).</p>

字 should be deleted. It's a typo I guess.

I agree 字 is a typo that should not be there.

> 左边，有几棵参天大树、直直的挺立在那里。

左边，有几行参天大树般高的字、直直的挺立在那里。(On the left, there are several columns of characters as tall as a towering tree, standing there straight. ) would be correct if the object was the characters and not the tree
