Hi, Is it possible to manually specify how many leaves I want for a tree fitted by rpart(), or tree()?

You can prune a tree to any member of the cost-complexity sequence, but there need not be one of the given size. prune.tree allows one to specify a target size, and as I recall it package maptree has Prune.rpart which is similar for rpart. Check their help pages for exactly what they do if the target size is not in the cost-complexity sequence. -- Brian D.
