The leaves do seem a bit on the weird side. I think its your shading that is throwing them off. Right now, they look like tubes that are stuck on and with even round shading from top to bottom, tree's however dont work like that. I remember spending hours of classes drawing trees in school because of how complex they are. I'm attaching a pic of a few break downs on a tree i sketched up really quick to try and show you what could be done to improve it. The image on the far right was used for reference from here: http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/4300/4392/oak-tree_1.htm

I think this have something to do with the depth on the tree. As you can see in the middle of the tree it feels like it's going plain inward instead of that outward puffiness that a tree should have.
