What type of tree did Ophelia fall from in Hamlet?

Ophelia, in Shakespeare's Hamlet, doesn't fall from a specific type of tree. The play does not specify the species.

The text states that Ophelia is found "dead, drowned, and dead" and that she was " found in the brook."

The image of Ophelia's drowning is a powerful one, but the specifics of the tree are not mentioned, likely because the focus is on her tragic fate rather than the botanical details.
