Interesting, the Supertrees. It does seem to make good speciman trees for forground use. Not sure I'd want to scenic the Appalachians or Adirondacks with many thousands of them but you show some nice results and it seems you've got a production technique that works for you.. The plant that is used to make them looked like a large variety of lichen. A Google search for "Scandanavian bush" turned up the UBC Botanical Gardens Forum where your tutorial was referenced and identified variously as tumbleweed (sagebrush,) reindeer moss or caribou lichen, or sea algae. Looks like tumbleweed or Russian Thistle (Salsola collina.) Doesn't grow in the wild up here but from the movies, in the Western states, you can't walk ten feet without one rolling by. One post mentioned that boiling it produced unhealthful fumes. Any ill effects? Wayne
