Exactly embed initial trees, rather than using hydra's approximation.

Cvetjovski gives exact tree embeddings in 2D Poincaré, but the geodesic distance between taxa doesn't correspond to the tree distance. Here's their example.

Tip-tip distances are not preserved in the embedding process with these techniques.
