I tried to make the tree sprite look a tad less flat. Just defined the the trunk to make it less straight up, and the shadow is now more shaped like the shrubbery, and I added a tad of anti aliasing on where the trunk reaches the shadow.

Having a less-straight trunk is actually a very interesting idea. My only concern is when you start applying specific characters to the sprite sometimes it can have the opposite effect. For instance, if you curve trees you then add the implication that they are natural and can bend. If you then have an entire screen of 20 trees all leaning right, it would look odd. You then need sprites of trees leaning left, and need to code a randomizer that spreads them out evenly.
I'm instantly down with changing up the shadow and anti-aliasing the base, though.
