So much for finishing this off over the summer! Fear not however for there has been some progress, in that I have managed to aquire a very nifty plug-in called Speedtree, which produces really nice trees with low poly counts. So I've managed to replace all of my tress with Speedtrees and the whole things looks much better, no renders yet but soon hopefully.
