Change one letter in each word below to reveal a common five-letter tree name.

EG: In TRAMPLED, change the M to P to get APPLE

1. REBIRTHS

2. MERCENARY

3. PROLIFERATE

4. KNUCKLEBONE

5. STRAPLESS

6. PASSENGER

1. REBIRcHS

My #4 is an alternate solution

2. MERCENARY - Cedar

3. PROLIFERATE - Olive

4. KNUCKLEBONE - Lemon

5. STRAPLESS - Maple

6. PASSENGER - Aspen
 
I wonder whether the Mensa folk had thought their answers were unique, heh.
