Explicitly you "can't", but that doesn't mean you can't hack things to pieces and die trying.

refreshTree : function(){
    dijit.byId("myTree").dndController.selectNone(); // As per the answer below     
    // Credit to this discussion: http://mail.dojotoolkit.org/pipermail/dojo-interest/2010-April/045180.html
    // Close the store (So that the store will do a new fetch()).
    dijit.byId("myTree").model.store.clearOnClose = true;
    dijit.byId("myTree").model.store.close();

    // Completely delete every node from the dijit.Tree     
    dijit.byId("myTree")._itemNodesMap = {};
    dijit.byId("myTree").rootNode.state = "UNCHECKED";
    dijit.byId("myTree").model.root.children = null;

    // Destroy the widget
    dijit.byId("myTree").rootNode.destroyRecursive();

    // Recreate the model, (with the model again)
    dijit.byId("myTree").model.constructor(dijit.byId("myTree").model)

    // Rebuild the tree
    dijit.byId("myTree").postMixInProperties();
    dijit.byId("myTree")._load();

},

This will refresh your Tree.
