Here is the explanation for the modified `Emit Branches` compound:
I moved the `set data` node to outside of `Add point` node on creation. This is
because whenever there is a `Add point` node, the custom attribute stored in
points may be reset. This was the case with
`self.__strandTree_NumBranchesPerIteration`, which was reset to 0. It caused
division by 0 in `Even Distribution Grow` node and thus the whole compound does
not work. To work around this, we need to set the custom attributes in per
Object context, instead, so that those attributes will not reset when there is
another `Add point` node.

Hi,
Attached is modified Emit Branches compound which would work with the preset
basic tree and other basic use. It has not been tested exhaustively, though.

Hi Andi,
not that I know... some ice updates really messed up the whole thing.
unfortunatelly I will not have the time to dig into the nodes and fix it, sorry.
have you ever checked the (much more elegant solution) Forester plugin from
3dQuakers ?

Hello,
i was wondering if someone had tracked down the issue in Fabricio Chamon's
superb strand tree compounds that stopped it working in 2014? Failing that
would I be able to find a list of ice nodes that changed between 2013 and 1014
so i could at least have a chance of replacing / rebuilding just the bits that
changed (before i rebuild them all by hand - and then discover that I've still
not fixed it)
cheers,
A.
