Povray is a good tool for what you want to achieve.

In http://www.irtc.org/ftp/pub/stills/2006-06-30/hideaway.jpg I used abouut
200000 plant meshes, which needed about 1.2 GB RAM. This gives you an
impression about RAM needed for 500000 plants. You should consider about
limiting data to visible plants. In

E
only 75000 visible trees are used.

Your vegetation simulation attempt sounds very interesting. In fact I'm
working on something similar within Povray -

..

Please post more of this approach.
