There are many reasons to have multiple trees, but one big one is Automatically Defined Functions (ADFs).

Crossover works as follows. First it picks a tree.  Then it picks another tree from among those trees which have the same GPTreeConstraints as the first tree.  These selections are normally random but you can force Crossover to pick specific trees (see its parameter options).  Then it crosses over the two trees.

Since normally all ADF trees have different GPTreeConstraints, they never are crossed over with one another.
