Why do we use -lar instead of -ler to make ağaç plural?
This is because of the 2-way vowel harmony rule. We look at the last vowel in ağaç, which is the letter a. Because it is a back vowel, the plural suffix must also use a back vowel, making it -lar.

Should the adjective büyük also be plural to match ağaçlar?
