[Avodah] davening outdoors

[Eli Turkel]

"One should not pray in a open area like a field, since in a private
place the fear of The King is upon him and his heart is broken and
subdued."

"And if he's on the road he may travel in the field, though if
possible he should stand between the trees."

Interesting query: what if he can concentrate better outside since
it's too hot/stuffy inside.>>

ROY did not quote this KSA and I assume does not hold of it.
Again he said that first priority is to daven in a shul. But if one is on
a trip and it is not feasible then he allowed davening outdoors and did
not mention anything about standing between trees.

In my experience of traveling in EY it is common to see groups
of religious Jews of all stripes davening mincha outdoors and I dont recall
people looking for trees
