There seems to be a strong case for changing the name of this page from "Genetically modified tree" to "Genetically modified trees". A plural denotes the fact that multiple tree species are being genetically modified for scientific or commercial reasons - the same goes for genetically modified crops, the page title of which is not "Genetically modified crop" - the creation of this page was strongly informed by the content and layout of the genetically modified crops wiki page.
Additionally, much of the content on genetically modified trees, online, and in print refers to the subject in the plural form. A quick google search (conventional and scholar) on the topic indicates this.
