Easy Tree earns its place in the blender_extensions library for pairing one-click tree presets with editable, appended Geometry Node groups, so quick results and deeper customization live in the same add-on.
Easy Tree is a Blender add-on for creating and customizing procedural trees using Geometry Nodes, with no manual node editing required. Choosing a preset from the dropdown and clicking Add Tree produces a new object with the Simple Tree Generator node group already applied, which also imports the helper nodes used by the add-on.
Beyond the one-click generator, Easy Tree includes modular Geometry Node components: Simple Wind Effects for swaying animation, Branch Generators for branching structures, and Custom Leaf Support that lets you use any mesh object as a leaf. Generated trees arrive with UV coordinates for bark texturing, and the add-on ships with a handful of CC0 bark textures from ambientCG.com. You can swap in your own materials or shaders, and because the node groups are appended rather than linked, you can edit them freely.
Easy Tree lives in the 3D Viewport sidebar under its own tab and requires Blender 4.5 and newer. It currently ranks 74 in the blender_extensions library.
Easy Tree is best for blender users who want to generate procedural trees from presets and adjust them through Geometry Node parameters without building node trees by hand.
Easy Tree is completely free to download and use.
Easy Tree requires Blender 4.5 LTS and newer, so it runs on that release and later versions. It has been tested on Windows, while macOS and Linux are noted as not yet tested by the developer. If you're on a supported Blender version and Windows, you should be able to install and run it as described; on other operating systems, results are less certain. For version details and any updates, check the developer's page on GitHub.
Easy Tree can be added by dragging and dropping the add-on into Blender, or by downloading it and installing from disk. To install manually, open Edit > Preferences > Add-ons > Install, select the ZIP file, and enable the add-on. Once enabled, you use it from the Easy Tree tab in the 3D Viewport sidebar. For downloads and any installation help, the developer's page on GitHub is the place to go.
Easy Tree lives in the 3D Viewport sidebar under its own Easy Tree tab. To create a tree, choose a preset from the dropdown and click Add Tree; a new object is created with the Simple Tree Generator node group already applied, and this also imports the helper nodes. From there you can modify parameters inside the node group and swap in your own leaf mesh or bark material.
Easy Tree is listed as free in this catalog, and it is distributed under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. For the current terms, the exact license file, and any changes, check the developer's page on GitHub. If you run into issues or want to download it directly, the developer points users to the project's issues page for support.
