I didn't think I had any semi-transparency in my image, just the alpha channel and opaque leaves. Here's the tga texture itself (archived):

And my tga tree sorting file, tree1.wdl:

And here's a screenshot of what the trees end up looking like (in preview mode):
You can see in the center how the back leaves are showing in front of the enarest leaves.
If you or anyone else can spot what I'm doing wrong, I'd be grateful.
