Quite a tricky one!
How shall you approach this? Pavis did it, but his commonly known feats speak little of it..

While completing any other quest, the heros can be on the lookout for the tallest and strongest tree. Upon finding it, ask for or take some pollen with which to fertilize "Green Sky Soon's" seeds. Aldrya's blessing? Miracle Grow? Do giant trees grow in the land of the Giants (Mountains)?

well... then they wouldn't be your children, would they?
Lost in translation
That's what i'm thinking. To give her strong, tall children implied to me she wanted Will and her to produce the children. To do that some sort of fertilization with her seed must happen. The aldryami belive in pre-marital sex hopefully. Otherwise this is a damned riddle.
Riddle me this
Which came first - the stamen (pollen bearing organ of a flower) or the pistil (seed bearing organ of a flower)? Will must get in touch with the flora-within and sprout some strong and tall plant DNA. I think this calls for some Green Age Power plus Pavic Magic. Will knows Green Age Lore at 11W and also has a strength of 7W under the Green Age keyword. It is time to consider everything relating to Elven procreation and add that to Pavis Mythology of 8W under his God Talker keyword to figure out how Pavis did it. Hopefully the answer will enable Will to manifest the Elven aspect of his being so that cross-pollination with Green Sky Soon becomes possible.
You're heading the wrong way
You're heading the wrong way by thinking about this problem using terms like "DNA."
Ernalda
Ernalda Priestesses use charms to make plants grow for different needs (better fibers? flowers? or fruit?). Why don't we get some to do a tall plant ritual?
Failing that, we could quest for a legendary girdle that grants tall, beautiful children.
Insuring children and crops is a big percentage of magic, probably 90% of it out there!
Kirk's Next Character
Knowledge is a powerful thing. Now that the heros have heard Cam's vision, it is becoming obvious that the brides' quests are more interelated than we originally thought. Obtaining "Murthdrya's blessings" and successfully "purifying the waters below" give rise to the idea of "strong, tall children" plus all the Pavis "broos heads" because parts of quests either overlap or directly affect another. Rasa said, "It means what we want it to mean". Therefore, accomplishing quests such as purifying the waters below and gaining Murthdrya's blessings positively affect the elves. Strong and tall children for all elves (not just Green Sky Soon) can come from these victories. As long as the heros do not fail then this condition can be acheived along with other benefits.
Now that generative Green Age power has been employed to produce seeds of strong, tall children with "Green Sky Soon" Will has two baskets of those seeds. He wants to plant one set at the Rass Manor and searches out the safest place for his young grove. Upon consulting with the Priests there could even be a consensus to plant the second set at the Pavis Temple. Using Enliven All Plants 4W2 augmented by Green Age Lore 11W he plants them on the next Fertility Day or Water Day (whichever is first) in the same intimate ritual that "Green Sky Soon" used.
