Cleans tree intree of improbable nodes (after e.g. automated reconstruction or artificial generation of a tree structure). Termination points in close vicinity of other nodes on a different branch will be deleted and very short terminal branches as well. The "close vicinity" depends on the radius of the "other node“ and on the input parameter radius. Consecutive calls of this function can be useful.

Example:

>> clean_tree (sample2_tree, 20);
