if you are going for really low poly make a simple trunk and some branches then add several, 10 to 15, squares around the trunk. then add an alpha map to the polys to make then look like leaves
top view of the tree trunk and planes.

when i get home i will make an example

That pic is planes with alpha map

in that technic you can use billboarding then you can make grass and stuff in the alpha channle and make the plane allways have face to the camera.

ok you make a plane that is lets say 4 vertex one in every corner

then you make a textur you put on that plane the textur can look like this.



the black thing will be transperent sorry my spelling but you will only see the green part here.

if you use billbording then you can say the face/front of this allways face the camera so even you move around then the plane will turn so you can see it.
