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.
