Tree Generation

I am curious about algorithmic tree generation, like in SpeedTree (used by Oblivion). Does anyone have useful information or informative articles that would help me write my own custom solution?

The end goal is to generate random, high-detail, realistic trees. Of course that might take awhile, so I'll start small and work my way up.

I know of L-Systems.

Maybe the one built into Blender (2.4) can be useful: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.4/Py/Scripts/Wizards/TreeFromCurves

It doesn't really generate trees, but once you have a tree it can generate twigs and leaves and it also takes care of the texturing... for example where branches are attached to the trunk it blends the textures together so you don't see any seams.
