Based on a wellrounded spellbook that can put up a fight vs any mage - AKA not packed with 60 points of fire spells - What strategies do you apply vs the druid?
Mainly because of her tree bond and somewhat barkskin, she seem incredibly hard to focus down quick.
On the contrary trying to kill the tree seems almost impossible unless you are willing to spend 2 x 8 mana on fireballs and then you are not even garuanteed a kill on that tree.
Even if you do choose to spend the 16 mana and succed, you just took something down that costed the druid 9 mana and already repaid some of the cost due to 1 or 2 rounds of channeling and deploying.
This will set you back in terms of board control where as the druid will have a couple of raptor vines on your tail biting away for 10 dice a round.
How do you approach an enemy druid?

Are you looking for tourney style play advice or for fun play

Flyers are very important especially if the Druid is running Vine Tree. Vines are a druids bread and butter and if you can avoid the vines you severely weaken the Druid.
-
The mage you're playing will influence your strategies. I can't think of anything general enough to cover all schools and mages.
