I believe that new types of trees could be added. The client would  
take the llTreeSystem parameters and look them up in the internal   
table of tree types. If it finds that it's already there it would use  
that ID end entry, otherwise it would copy the base trees.xml entry  
(if there's one referenced in the parameter list) into a new table  
entry, apply the modifications from the parameter list, and create a  
new type. It might also be useful to use a fuzzy match: if you have  
one person specifying a tree type 4 but with 10% longer branches, and  
another the same type but with 12% longer branches, they might be  
treated as "close enough" and both would be assigned the same tree  
type (say, with 11% longer branches).

Someone has already implemented a growing prim tree... you drop a  
planter and it takes a week to grow to full size.
