Trees from the sedum plant

[der5997]

Anyone tried boiling the dried Sedum in a glycerol solution? That should give it some added flexibility, and increase the "life" of the trees on the layout. Same goes for Yarrow, which I find is best harvested after the winter has had a go at knocking off the florrets.

I don't know about sedum, yarrow, or goldenrod, but in the south we have a decorative shrub called Nandina (Heavenly bamboo) that has berry stalks that make perfect tree forms. The berries are ready to drop in very early spring and can be popped off easily. Spray with adhesive or white glue and add foam or flocking. Set with hairspray and you have very attractive and sturdy trees.
