Thank you Daniel, your a life saver!

Daniel, 

Just wondering if there is a way for me to specify a line or a point where the fractal tree begins? So I could specify multiple starting points?

Set multiple planes. I use planes because then only with a geometry are giving a location (the origin of the plane) and a direction (the Z axis of the plane).

Thanks Daniel, If I wanted to do this only in 2D it wouldn't work the same way would it? Ideally I would like to specify where the fractal tree starts.

To specify where the fractal starts sets the planes you want in the first input .

If you mean to draw the fractal in 2d, simply set all angles at zero except the AX.

So for example I have my fractal tree in 2D with two branches, I wouldn't be able to make a new fractal tree start from one of the branches?

But that's what does the code internally ... why you want to repeat that process?

At the moment I'm working on it as a diagram so in 2D, and I wanted to repeat it so that I can make area's denser than others also having some overlapping areas. If that makes sense?

Nice Script Daniel :)

How about this approach KJ:

1. make the tree as dense as desired.
2. bake tree
3. selectively delete what you don't want.
