Not exactly...you can create your own foliage bitmaps...and put leaves, flowers, or whatever you want on them, and apply them in the editor. Check out Guitta's website at www.guitta.net; at the menu, go to tutorials, and look at the lessons on "Create new plants" and the other tree and plant associated lessons for ideas on how to do this. You can't add new meshes (like fruit) to a tree within the plant editor, as far as I know. You could try exporting a tree and using a modeling program to add fruit, and then reimporting it, but other than that, you'd have to use the alpha planes or separate fruit meshes and add them to your tree. Vue isn't a modeler, really, there are other programs that do that much better, but the plant editor in Vue Pro does let you change the shapes of your vegetation quite a bit.
