Spotlight shadow on Speedtrees not working correctly
In order to see a shadow cast from a object/subject lit by a Spotlight onto the surface of a Speedtree one has to select 'Receive Shadow" for the shadow to be seen even if "All Shadows" was selected. The Speedtree then does not "Cast" a shadow, it will then only receive a shadow it cannot Cast & Receive at the same time. If "All Shadows" is selected the tree is dark and not properly lit from a Spotlight. The Directional light works as expected.

Here is an image that shows how a Speed Tree reacts to a Spotlight. To have a shadow from an object lit by a Spotlight on the surface of a Speed Tree  one must turn "Receive Shadow" for the Speed Tree. If "All Shadows" is on for the Speed Tree the tree is not lit properly by a Spotlight and no shadow is received on the surface of the Speed Tree from an object.

Once again a Directional light work properly to light a Speed Tree and display shadows from objects correctly.
