If you were to do this, I would put all the frame-by-frame stages onto
one .car file and animate the visibility of each one.

Also, there is a tree druid plug-in for Carrara 2 (and only 2, I
think, as that it hasn't been updated) that suppostively will animate
a tree from sprout to full size.  I can also animated wind-effects and
so on.  Saddly, I can not go into detail about it because I haven't
used it myself.
