A tree is just a particular kind of graph. I've found the BGL concepts
useful for specifying APIs that deal with trees; the concepts are more
generic than I need but that has never hurt anything. So, one place to
start, at least, would be the BGL's conceptualization of graphs
(vertices, edges, etc.). It might give you some inspiration/ideas you
could build on.
