Code:
turf
    icon = 'Turf.dmi'
    Grass
        icon_state = "grass"
    Tree01
        icon_state = "0,0"
    Tree02
        icon_state = "1,0"
        New()
            src.overlays+=/turf/Tree03
            ..()
    Tree03
        icon_state = "2,0"
        pixel_x = -32


Problem description:
Tree003 does not appear when it is set to -32, but does appear when set to a positive number.

In any way, it'd be best to make trees and such objects. Considering there should only be one turf in a tile.

Objects are best suited for overlays such as plants, flowers, furniture, trees and such things. A turf is just the ground, in a manner of speaking.

I feel like I'm plugging this all over the place, but it really does solve alot of multi-tile issues. No, trees do not have to be objects, and it's a bad idea to make them objects if you never intend to move them, but intend to have a lot of them. There is an object limit of 65536, but turfs are only limited by unique instances.

Give my library a shot. It makes multi-tile atoms a snap.
