I also do it with sedum, cheap hairspray and Woodland Scenics. It didn't take long to grow enough sedum to last a lifetime and it makes you feel bad to throw the new crop out.
Have done the same with sedum
What are some good plants for use in constructing N scale trees?
I have also found that the spent flowers of Astilbe work great for conifer trees. And they are a perennial so you can harvest a new crop every summer.
I'm new to modeling and have already make a few trees and bushes but want to learn more
Bonne idée merci.
The Hydrangea blooms work great. At this time of year, the Crepe Myrtle trees are bare and the stems where their blossoms grow make wonderful tree armatures.
I wish I had known this before I moved. I had a magnificent Oak Leaf and the blooms were very plentiful. Thanks to this article I have to buy another.
Try using the plant sedum. It makes great trees just by waiting until it dries on the plant . Cut off with secuters and spray green then add scatter for leaves.
The results and looks are great! My problem is, I've asked about the oak leaf hydrangeas, and they don't happen to be in my area and would probably be a pain to grow!
