    4. BEFORE clicking on anything else click on the menu that popped up in the bottom right
     corner of the screen called "Sapling".

  
    5. At this point you should mess around with all the settings in this menu so you can learn

    7. Push "Shift + A" on your keyboard and select "Mesh" then "Ico Sphere".

    9. Select the move tool and move the Ico Sphere towards the top of the tree. 


10. On your keyboard push "ALT+Z". (This opens up transparent mode.)
11. Click on "Proportional Editing" button which is located in the top middle section of the screen.

12. Whilst still in edit mode and with the move tool still selected, drag a box over the lower half of              the Ico Sphere.  
 13. Click on the blue arrow and drag it down closer to the bottom branches of the tree.
 14. Still with just the Ico Sphere selected push "A" on your keyboard.
 15. Now push "S" then "Y" on your keyboard to adjust the width of the Ico Sphere along the Y-Axis.
      (Adjust the width until it covers all branches)
16. Now 
push "S" then "X" on your keyboard to adjust the width of the Ico Sphere along the X-Axis.
       (Adjust the width until it covers all branches)
 17. Push "TAB" on your keyboard to get back into Object Mode.
 18. Click on the Ico Sphere (Tree Leafs), right click, then select "Shade Smooth".
 19. Click on the Tree Log, right click, and select "Shade Smooth".
