JTT trees are great at Hobby Lobby and sometimes they have clearance sales on them or the 100 trees for 19.99 from China can
work if you doctor them. Daryl Kruse is using Woodland Scenic trees and foliage to reduce costs on a massive layout. Here are a few
pics of "unaltered" out-of-the-box trees from JTT and the big box from Scenic Express. The tree in the one shot with the pliers is
Scene Master trees from Walthers.
