So I figured out one solution, In the options bar I can switch the leader to "free end" which allows me to control the pt of attachment and the tag still moves with the element.

My next question is how do I attach a tag to two or more identical items and have the label show the count.  For example.  I have 3 ash trees and want to show a series of line segments connecting the  3 trees at the center point and the label to show (3 XX)  It this possible?

No - labels do not have multiple leaders and will not count. 

What you can do is to add a schedule that will have all of your trees and will count them.  All REVIT elements have some parameters that will schedule.  

We use this feature to schedule all FF&E items in hotel rooms.  You can set your schedules up to include evertything in a project or you can filter them.  For our FF&E items, we filter by room.  If you would need to do something similar, you would have to setup exterior "rooms" using room lines.
