There are many ways to represent a tree in Mathematica. It depends a 
lot on what you want to do with your trees.

However, I find the simplest representation to be an expression, 
f[x,y,z,...], where f is the parent and x, y, z, etc. are children. If 
x, y, z, ... are atomic, then they are leaves. If they are expressions, 
then they are sub-trees.

Then when you're done creating your tree, you can view it with an 
application we wrote called TreeView.
