I have been playing with the sampling addon and noticed that there is a preset function whereby you can load pre-existing setups. There are only 4 bundled with the default addon.
I was wondering if there were any good resources for these presets (e.g. like a tree library) that you can download?

No. As you are interested in this, you should start experimenting and create presets to share with others
Creating preset would be tweaking tree and then pressing button Save.
Sharing - uploaded and made available .py file which resides in 2.72/scripts/addons/add_curve_sapling/presets under the name it is saved. Presets do not include any custom leaf texture in use - that could be shared separately as image file if available/ properly licensed.
Import preset - place .py file in the mentioned folder.
Is that a “no there isn’t” or a “I don’t know whether there is”?
I am experimenting already - and I do share my experiments (my successful ones at least) on these forums as well as blend swap.
As I see it though - why go over old ground if people have already created reasonable trees - they’ll be good as a starting point if nothing else. It’s often good to look at others work and see how they achieved something - in addition to creating things from scratch.
