I'd be nice if branches and twigs had a slightly different tile.

Yes it would, but I'm terrible at making organic tiles. I'll have to steal some leaf tiles from other tilesets. *scurries away*

I 'created' a new twig tile. I'm not sure it looks quite right.

Pine trees are now copper trees! You can't stop progress!
We need a custom reaction to extract copper from pine needles!

The two other updates I'd suggest is 1) Find a better tile for the tops of mushroom caps and 2) Make spades look like leaves not trees.

I've not really played DF2014 yet, so I don't even know what underground mushroom trees look like... but I think I understand what you mean. Above ground trees have similar problems.
Do you mean the tool 'spade' or the tile 'spade'?

With the new trees and plant varieties all the old tree tiles are either now shrubs or also being used for shrubs/plants.

They look good over all, except the + like tile that makes up the middle of the caps for capped mushrooms. It looks weirder when there's not enough room for a full cap, so it's just a mass of + tiles. Tunnel tube (the one without branches) looks really cool.

By spade I meant the spade tile. It must be used for something in the spring, because I can't find it in my summer fort now. Maybe it was a shrub with flowers on it.  So that needs to be changed to not like a tree or the raws need to be purged of references to the tile.
EDIT: The wiki suggests it was actually the clubs tile meant to show flower blossoms.

Also, now that trees are big, the sapping tiles can be made to look bigger possibly.

Not quite. I've seen a couple tree tiles that are still functioning as some stage of tree growth. I know this because they block movement.

I think we're probably both thinking of flowers.

I kinda meant that with what used to be the tree tile in the new release act more like shrubs in the last version in that they are harvest-able through herbalism; So, either trees have migrated away from being used to display anything to do with trees or are now also being used to depict some varieties of flora. I only played around with 40.01 for a bit so I have no idea how tree growth works at this point.

In that case you might also consider stealing someone's minecraft textures.

Club and Spade are used by many plants for flowers and stuff like that.
It's not hard-coded, but I've not touched them yet.

The tree tiles are still being used on the map.

Anyway, I'm out of tile right now, so unless I move to TwbT, I won't be able to do much.
It's a one way jump, if I move to TwbT, then the tileset will be TwbT only. Or I'll have to support two independent tilesets.

Look what you've done!

Map tree tiles are not hardcoded. The tile number for each tree is now being used to represent them on the map.
There's 4 deciduous trees (including willow and palm), 2 Coniferous, 2 Mushroom Trees, A cactus, and the dead tree.
That could be reduced.
