There's the "dendrogram" class in R, --> "?dendrogram", which
had been created with the aim to be a class that would allow
both regression/classification trees and hierarchical cluster
dendrograms to be represented. It's not just for binary trees,
and definitely much nicer to use than a "vector simulation"
version.

(well, it may be worth your time to learn something about rpart
anyway; but you won't want to use it's representation of trees,
I think)
