Have fun and be prepared for a change of viewpoint.
I am having difficulty working out which is the best way of doing things 
with Meshes.

I just started using Blender this year. Should have started years ago. Better
late than never.

downloads the last my version:
http://news.povray.org/povray.binaries.utilities/thread/%3Cweb.53038279e8a704e97a3e03fe0%40news.povray.org%3E/
unpack

In Windows two ways of use of Blender: installer or zip-archive.
1. If use installer, after install go:
C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.69\scripts\addons

2. If use zip: unpack archive and we pass into the unpacked archive. It will be
started by a double click on file "blender". Close Blender and go
\2.69\scripts\addons

In addons we find the render_povray folder is an official version. We replace it
with the
folder from my archive

In Linux:
We apply the second way of Windows to Linux

Nicely done.

- Branch attachments to their bases are not smooth and show some offsets.

- In trees, the hierarchy generally goes from large to small and few to 
many. i.e. for instance: one large trunk, few smaller branches, many 
even smaller twigs, numerous leaves.

Blender has the generator of trees.
On a screenshot of its control, including possibility of animation.
My task - to transfer it in Povray, using possibilities of Povray.
For this purpose there are options:
1 . To convert a tree in mesh
2 . To write down it as sphere_sweep
3 . To write down it as blob. Over this option I work. Branches will smoothly
join

The generator creates leaves, but, not really beautifully.
Over it we will think.
:)

Yes, those are the interesting options indeed. Blobs for foreground 
trees and mesh for planting whole forests.

In interesting option for this would be to generate flat or curved mesh 
polygons, uv-mapped with a leaf image map. Alternatively, a polygon in 
the form of a leaf, to be textured accordingly.

UV texturing in Blender allows to create the massif of leaves.
For this purpose it is necessary to make necessary manipulations.

To create UV, it is necessary to create rectangle leaves
Having allocated leaves it is necessary to pass into an editing mode.
Then, having allocated everything (is by default allocated) to make unwrap
\follow active quads
