One of the nice things about foam insulation is that you can just poke a hole in it and plant your tree.  Larger trees, maybe a pin sticking out of the bottom to go in the hole.. 

If you had a little foam available you could make some small hills and stick them into it.  If that isn't an option, how about something like Sculptamold.  You could put a blob of it on the surface, pat it down to a reasonable height and various shapes.  It would look like your tree was on a small rise.  It would get  your surface away from the absolutely flat look.

Just some thoughts.

Good luck,

Thanks for the input; just experimenting with a little scenery; the better half wants me to finish some of the product before she approves to the rest of the basement; Shelf style 8"-16" wide 55" High.

By the way; how would I plant my trees into the wood frame.  I was thinking White Putty to stick the stems into or what do other people use?

 

thanks again, Cary

I'd say the pic test was a success.  Layout looking to be progressing nicely.

Keep us posted.

Have fun,
