For anyone on Blender 4.4 or a later release, this is the version referenced here.

Where do I find Sapling Tree Gen after installing it?

Sapling Tree Gen is accessed from the View3D → Add → Curve menu once the add-on is enabled. That location is where the parametric tree is added to your scene. The add-on can be installed by dragging and dropping into Blender, or by downloading and installing from disk. After enabling it, open the Add → Curve menu to place a tree in your project.

What license does Sapling Tree Gen use?

Was Sapling Tree Gen part of Blender by default?

If you previously used it as a built-in add-on, you can now install it from the Blender extensions site.
