We present a new tree-based, high-order integration scheme for the numerical simulation of collisional N-body systems. Unlike previous tree codes, in our implementation the tree is allowed to deform with time, and the properties of each component cell are not calculated afresh at each step but instead are predicted only as needed. Cells are represented by a multipole expansion that can extend as far as the octupole term, depending on the relative costs of the multipole and individual-particle calculations. A block time step algorithm is used to simplify scheduling and to allow full vectorization of the code. Both particle and tree time steps are included within the same block structure
