I have a pretty fair idea of how much five pounds equates to in American dollars. Since I'm not all that familiar with what's available where you live, it's hard to suggest what you should buy. However, it sounds like you are buying ready made trees and that can be very costly. It's always cheaper to make your own trees. Either through a kit if you have to, or by scouring the countryside for the appropriate sized flora and fauna for armitures and making your own from scratch. Some of the different forums have areas that have information on tree building. It's really a trade off, you save time by purchasing ready made trees but you are paying someone else to do the labor. Another way to add the effect of trees, especially in the distance would be to use lichen (which I personally do not care for) and cover it with ground cover materials. I saw someone do this for a z scale layout and it looked OK. It gave him the effect of many trees in the background without going broke. But to answer your question, I'm not sure of a cheaper source for ready made trees. Cheers
