Would an alien forest look similar to some of our own?

To elaborate on the title, can alien plant life on an Earth-like planet look similar to ours, or would plants on an alien planet be radically different, unrecognizable, or incomparable to Earth plants in the eyes of a human traveler?

I've heard things about different pigmentation based on what wavelength of light the planet's mother star emits, but I'm talking more about the broad strokes. Would leaves still look like leaves? Would trees still look like trees? Or would they be as different to Earth plants as some aliens in harder science fiction are to us?
