visually distinguish right and left children

I'm using the qtree package to render small inline trees in my document. The tree nodes in my case are limited to 0 or 2 child nodes. I'd like to visually distinguish the right and left branches somehow. Ideally with a red dashed line one one side and green solid line on the other, or possibly a bubble on one, however almost any clear visual feature would suffice.



Why do I want this? Because other places in my larger document I'm using more complex ways of drawing much larger trees. In these cases I always distinguish the two children with a red-dashed line and a green solid line. And in my text I refer to the two children as the "positive" child and "negative" child, never the left and right (as sometimes graphviz swaps the right and left to minimize crossing lines). I'd like to remove all mention of right and left for these graphs, but I can't because of this seeming limit of qtree.



Can someone suggest an fix?



as far as MWE consider the following.



documentclass{article}
usepackage{qtree}
newcommandbdd[1]{%
{scriptsizebegin{tabular}[c]{@{}l@{}}$Tree[#1]$end{tabular}}}
newcommand*YLR{bdd{.Y L R }}
begin{document}
Simple tree YLR and another
{scriptsize begin{tabular}[c]{@{}l@{}}
$Tree[.non-string [.A ] [.B [.not-number [.L ] [.R ] ] !{qframesubtree} [. C ] ] ]$
end{tabular}} less simple.
end{document}


Here is how it current renders.
