Basically I edited it. I copied the level0(trunk) and level1 (big stem) as a new
..obj file then sculpted it. Then cover the original one.

If you want to learn I can teach you. At the beginning I played with Terragen's
object function. It can "populate" objects in a 2d array.
Like this

Then it can adjust the distribution through apply the density modifier like
"terrain slop constraint", or some other pattern you define.

I feel this is a good function, but I cannot tried many tree type because I use
the free version. In addition I notice that its tree leaves detail due to global
illum is not as good(or I don't know how to) as pov-ray( using radiosity). So I
back to pov-ray.

I use 4 trees in this scene. Each one I adjust the leaf(and stem) color
carefully.

Like this:
//#declare leaves_13=
#declare PR_DIFFUSE=pigment {color rgb <0.077,0.179,0.080>}


#declare F1=finish{
                   diffuse  0.55, 0.45
                   oren_nayar 1.1
                   }


#declare T1=texture{
                   pigment{uv_mapping PR_DIFFUSE }
                            finish{F1}
                    }
