Here's our press release for Tree Forestry for those working with nature in Painter. We've also posted some tree textures as examples for anyone that's interested (see the Tree Examples link on the front page).

DigArts Software’s newest innovation does for tree trunks and branches what Jungle 3D does for foliage.
Tree Forestry is a new set of Painter tools that paint over forty different species of tree trunks, limbs and branches. These pattern tools actually paint dimensional, fully textured trunks, branches, splits and barks with a simple brush stroke. What’s more, they’re scalable. The bark textures even conform to the direction of the artist’s brush stroke.
For artists and illustrators working with nature, painting trees has never been easier. Tree Forestry fits the final piece to the tree puzzle. It lets artists paint realistic trunk and branching systems with the same ease and speed that Jungle 3D paints complex foliage structures. When used together, artists can create highly dimensional trees and foliage on screen in just minutes.
Tree Forestry contains over 200 trunk, branch and hollow patterns as well as paper textures, brushes and other goodies. The unique branching patterns paint complex limb and twig structures with unparalleled ease, even in the smallest sizes. The splits and hollows patterns add lifelike defects to most any trunk or limb, and with a single brush stroke.
