Hi John,

I just had to view your youtube-video - the complete tree really looks great.
But - due to the fact that I'm no native english speaker - I do not understand what weed you use for the leaves and what spray you use for gluing them on your tree.

thanks in advance
Thomas

I first use a dried weed called caspia that I grind up and put thru a strainer to make it fine, then I use a commercially available leaf flake made by NOCH.
I use spray adhesive from a spray can (clear) to attach
Spray very lightly

Thanks, John, as I already have dried roots from my garden and old Bonsai-Tree-Stumps laying around, I will give it a try next time when I need trees or bushes for my dioramas...

best regards
Thomas

Great tutorial John. Thanks very much for sharing.

Outstanding thank you John

Excellent real time video John, thanks!

Thanks guys, what's nice about this method is you don't have to rely on trying to find the "perfect" root that already looks like a tree, you can "build it to order" and in any size or scale.
