Thanks to Miyoken from the povray.tools.general group.  I made a few 
modifications to the POVTree/TomTree include that was submitted by Miyoken 
in p.b.s-f, and rendered this.

It's not for the lightly RAM'd (it took about 730MB peak, to render).  I 
might be able to change some settings, though, to achive similar results. 
It has 200 branches (not counting twigs and ramification), and lots of 
foliage.  I'm not quite sure what sucks up the RAM the most.

It took about 2 hrs to render (AMD 3200+), with fairly high radiosity 
settings, which I'm sure could have been lowered for an outdoor scene like 
this.

I was (am?) planning to use the tree for a Christmas card idea that I have. 
But with POVComp's deadline extended, my Christmas card plans might have to 
wait until next year.

I'll post the include (as a response to the other post in p.b.s-f) if anyone 
wants to make it look better or use less RAM, or if they like it how it is. 
Just let me know.
