How to create one final decision tree

Hello,
I need to create on final decision tree based on 25 different decision trees but I am not sure how to do that. They need to be constructed in a sequential manner where we update the weights of the training examples based on the prediction and the error rate of the previous decision. Right now I have the random forest operator where I have 25 different decision trees but what is it that I used to create one final decision tree?

Thank you

    Hi!

    The process you're describing is implemented in ensemble models like Bagging and Boosting, and in Gradient Boosted Trees.

    However, these create *separate* trees. I don't see how one decision tree would be able to express all the different trees adequately and I don't know an algorithm implementing this.
