I was rummaging around the GIMP home page and came across a reference
to creating fractal trees with it. There is a new plug-in available
described as follows:

--------
FS-Compose is one of the weirdest and most fascinating plugins available for
Gimp. It is basically a tool to generate recursive, natural-looking fractal
shapes. It is quite hard to understand at first, but once you play with it
you will start to understand how it works.
--------

  Looking at the images and kinds of shapes that it can produce it instantly
struck my that it might make an excellent tool for making image maps for
natural looking leaves and foilage as well as other objects. It may also
be useful for creating organic backgrounds like tree lines and distant
shrubbery when detail is not needed. Other than that it would probably be
just damn plain fun to play with.

  This is a direct link to the page that describes it and the associated
screen shots - http://tigert.gimp.org/gimp/ifs-compose/
