Xoliul - Keep in mind that Alt+S+Click will work outside of static mesh mode as well, but you won't get the rotation and scale settings that come with it unless you are actually in the mode. DDuckworth - Haha, yes, that is a problem. I've had the "towering" effect with some trees before, and it's not exactly the look I was…
Thanks for the help everyone. Me and Arcanox managed to come up with a decent solution by futzing with the particle system. This should work decently enough for what i'm trying to do. Thanks again!
