I'VE FIXED IT!
It's related to the FPS of the game. In single player mode this is capped to 30 FPS. In multiplayer, the cap is removed. With modern PC's the FPS flies out of control and takes the animations of the trees, waves, game speed with it.
The fix is quite simple.
- Download NVIDIA Profile Inspector
- Launch the tool, and click teh little nvidia icon on the right hand side next to "driver verson"
- Under "Sync and Refresh" change Frame Rate Limiter to 60 fps
- Hit Apply Changes
Start the game and go for it!
There's a way you can set this up to ONLY affect generals, rather than your whole system. Watch this video to see how that is done:

Another way to fix it is using gen tools http://gentool.net/
download and install it. When generals is running press the insert key and it opens a menu where you can limit the frame rate 30, 60, etc.
The game was running at like 400 frames per second when my trees were spazzing out.
