Yes, you're right, that might improve the appearance of the bifurcations.
Now I'm experimenting with another thing :-) so I might not have the time to
implement this new ideas. However, this let me realize that modeling trees
is not so easy as I thought. I believed that some basic recursion code would
give a very realistic tree. I learned that's not the case!!!

Thanks for the comments,
