The tree where Frodo hides when the Uruk-hai arrive is quite hard to find, but with my pin roughly marking the spot, it should be easier. It’s located on a slope at the edge of the forest. Once you’re in front of it, it’s fairly recognizable. I’ve added a photo of the slope so you can identify it more easily!

Good luck!

If you want a better view of this filming location, you can watch my video on YouTube about the filming locations of the first movie.
