Last thing I printed with tree support the z-distance for support was 0.1mm.  It's stuck on there like glue and I am filing and sanding my way to oblivion.

If I increase this to 0.2mm, will it mess up the supported areas of the print?  What's the limit?

Every printer is different. I usually use 0.2. I always do a pretty wide grid though, and use a straight razor blade to cut the layer line of the support.

Usually it's pretty clean that way.

Tree supports are tricky. They can almost fall off with no issues or seem like they are cemented on the model. I used a lifting tool I picked up from MicroCenter. It looks like a small spatula. Easy to pry tree supports off.
