Woody3D can create tree roots as shown above. There is a problem however, as it currently uses a very simple hierarchy for branch levels. It does not allow for more than one child per branch. This means you can add roots but not branches. That's a pretty boring tree.
Next version will support a more flexible hierarchy. To manage the various parts of the tree, I'll be using a CtreeCtrl in the Tree Forge. Below is a colored [size="3"]CtreeCtrl [size="3"] (with fancy gradient selection bar).
And here is the source for the control if you're interested in how it works. Feel free to modify it and use it in your own MFC projects.
