Perhaps you've managed to achieve multiple trees, but they're all placed
at exactly the same location and therefore look like one tree. Add a
different translate for each copy of the tree. Adding a rotate and a
scale wouldn't hurt if you want to try to disguise the fact that the
trees are identical.

object {MyTree}
object {MyTree scale <1,1.2,1> rotate <0,27,0> translate <2,0,0>}
object {MyTree scale <1.2,1,1.1> rotate <0,73,0> translate <-2,0,1>}
