See the Tree?

Some programs I use to display trees in OSX. Some allow the user to modify trees.

TreeViewX: the industry standard for simple tree visualization.

TreeEdit: views and manipulates trees, re-roots, simulates trees.

FigTree: nice graphical tree viewer.

TreeIllustrator: not only it displays and fiddles with trees, but also has a built-in ToL browser/search engine.

TreeStat: calculates tree statistics (balance, shape, length, popgen).

Phylodendron: draws trees on a webserver or locally (Java app).

TreeJuxtaposer: displays and compares/compresses trees. needs GL4java.

ArboDraw: tree editing with sequence annotation functionality.

TreeMaker: builds taxonomies with species richness data.

TreeSetViz: visualizes tree sets in treespace as a Mesquite module.
