I don't see anything special about the trees.
The bricks in Extreme are shaded darker which is better because the light is shining from behind

extreme trees are smoother than very high trees dude, it is as it is supposed to be.

Extreme clearly has ambient occlusion while very high doesn't seem to.

Fistan is right; its the effect of a higher anti-aliasing settings... which means no more jagged edges...
so thats what high quality trees look like
