SpeedTree - Smaller trees appeared inside of my tree? Polycount Ballooned overnight

lagb01t

I've been using speedtree for a little while now and I thought I had a hang of it. I made some trees and exported them yada yada and I reopened the file today and the previously 2k~ tri trees I made are now at a whopping 13k tris. Upon closer inspection I see that there are smaller versions of the trees within my trees. I don't have more than one trunk, or any other duplicate objects displayed on screen. I also notice a number larger than one on the connecting string from the tree > trunk node. I'm not sure what this number represents but my base polycount is sure enough multiplied by this number resulting in the larger polycount. I also cant seem to find any values within the tree that correlate to the multiplied number. 

What happened and how do I solve this?
