I have set up a fairly simple scene and have gone through the process of making and animating a sapling. I left it as a curve and applied a material to it. When I hit render, the tree doesn't show at all.

enter image description here

Note that the 'tree' object is NOT the tree I want rendered. That's why it is unviewable and urenderable

I'm using cycles, and even if it is a material problem, the tree should still render just as a blank thing, right? Is there something special I have to do in order for curves to render?

UPDATE

The tree renders fine in rendered view port.

Here is a stripped version of the .blend:

    $\begingroup$ Check if your tree object is set to unrenderable in the outliner (little camera icon). Otherwise edit your question and provide more information like screenshots your settings and object properties. Also check animation/armature settings, see if they are not interfering with the object at the current frame. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Your tree curve has a disabled rendering option. As Duarte Farrajota Ramos said you need to click the little camera icon next to the curve in the outliner to make it renderable $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @PaulGonet If these screenshots were taken at the same time, you can't actually see the selected tree. That is a different tree, but the selected one is a child of "treeArm". $\endgroup$

The problem is that the layer it is on is disabled for the active blender layer:
