Looking for some input on plant/tree bugginess. When I defined a leaf I got an error, could still proceed, failed to render tho. However, I noticed that the tree is parametric mapped w/ only the leaf assigned to a shading domain and now I am locked out of assigning the parametric mapping. I have seen this before with trees and other objects. It appears the parametric mapping and shading domains don't work together on the same object. Could someone confirm this? Also if this is the case then why is the plant modeller mixing and matching the 2 methods?

No need to think outside the box....
