Start by creating a Nurbs Circle at the origin; don't worry about the size just yet. We will be adjusting the size later.

Select the circle you just made and using Control+D duplicate the circle 5 times in the Y direction. Adjust the Scale of each circle how you see fit, I decided to try some different shapes for my tree trunk.
