New Atlas/Praetoria Treed have busted LOD

I've been complaining about the LOD being busted since the GR beta but I want to raise this one bit specifically because it's driving me _mad_

The LOD transition for the new Praetorian trees (used in the new AP) goes like this:

Sprite tree
Geometry trunk pops in
Sprite tree disappears (the leafy bulk of the tree disappears)
Geometry for the foliage pops in

This results in the trees flashing every time you pass a LOD level and it's _hugely_ distracting
