  Well, it is a little more complicated, in the sense you need to get some tree 
variation that is side to side.

  From your description, what I would envision would be a vertical line of trees 
nicely overlapping the one above it, but then you'd have vertical lines of the 
base terrain that these are not overlapping.

  So for this to work, you'd also need graphics with trees that spill over side 
to side.  I don't think this could be done with simply one graphic - your 
talking multiple graphics, or at minimum some graphics to deal with the edge 
cases, so making an image that properly tiles like some of the ones right now 
probably makes just as much sense.
