Arrays of pointers

Hello.

I am rather new at FORTRAN, and I have a problem with the type system
(F90). I have a binary tree type:

TYPE tree
TYPE (tree), POINTER :: left, right
...
END TYPE tree

and I usually do:

TYPE (tree), POINTER :: my_tree
my_tree => build_tree(...)

where new_tree allocates space for it and constructs the tree. Now I
need several trees in a dynamically allocated array, but I cannot make
an array of pointers. I could probably refactor my code so that
build_tree works on an already allocated object, so that it does not
require a pointer, but is there some way I could really have an
(allocatable) array of pointers to my structure?
Thanks a lot.
