Answer
Yes, a small mirror can form an image of a whole tree. The size of the mirror doesn't restrict the extent of the scene it can reflect; it captures light from all parts of the tree. The image forms as light rays from the tree reflect off the mirror into our eyes. While the mirror must be large enough to capture sufficient light rays for a complete image, the tree's image size is determined by perspective and distance, not the mirror's dimensions.
