Sorry to hear you already purchased. I’m not familiar with them
Compare them to these; HartoftheSouth
These are the best I've found so far without actually making them yourself. Which are also described here on Armorama, and I’ll post those if you need them.

Here are two of them.
What you can do with the Verlinden ones is make or construct a diorama with about 10 to 15 palms and try and hide the Verlinden one in there. Just kidding. If you spend enough time on it I’m sure it will come out fine.

The main problem is to fix the PE palms to the resin trunk.
The rest is only depending on your painting skills but all in all they will look good.

I have one ... don´t know if its original or a re-pop .... but the main problem on mines will be to fill all the air bubble holes. There are literally 100s ... and some are quite big.

Take a look to U-Model palm trees, much more realistic in my opinion and much worth the value
