Okay, now here is my question - does anyone out there sell kits for large trees?

Something to that effect? I've tried several times to build my own version of
those types of trees, and they almost always invariably come out looking

Perhaps if someone out there has directions, if no one sells a kit?

Wow, I'm honored.

I still have the tree you referenced built, and if you'd like I can create it in
LDraw and post it, so you can look at it closer. I've also got a better camera
now that I can take larger and clearer pictures with.

The key, I think, to doing trees like this is put more than 4 branches on the
trunk, which means breaking out of the 90 degree constraints. They aren't very
sturdy that way, but they look more natural.
