Check out Major General Tremorden's Colonial Gaming page at:

for his section on Palm trees.	Although most of the section is devoted
to
making your own, it provides a source for some pre-made ones (all you
need
is a quick dry brush coat of brown on the trunk and maybe some green on
the
leaves) to have some quickly available trees.  Some of the sources
listed
include toys and wedding cake suppliers.  I have had good luck with a
local
weeding cake supplier, purchasing 3, twin trunk palm trees for 65 cents
a
pack, so 30 double trees would be about $6.50.	They are a bit short for
for
25 mm (only 3 1/2" tall) but they are cheap.  You will need to supply
bases
(cardboard or putty) since they are intended to be stuck in cakes.

Subject: OT - Jungle Trees

Hello!
 
I'm just writing a short e-mail to tap into the vast wargaming
experience
and knowledge of the list. This year, I have moved to a boarding school
and
consequently find myself with much more free time at school, so I'm
planning
to set up a wargaming club. What I need is some terrain since I don't
have
any of my own, and seeing as I'm taking my GCSEs this year I don't have
the
time to make it myself. I asked JT for advice and he recommended TSS or
Gallia for the basic terrain boards, and indeed I expect I will be
sending
an order to TSS soon. However, what I would like to know is where I can
find
ready-to-use 'jungle' style trees at 25/28mm scale. What I need is trees
that come pre-painted and ready basically, because I really don't have
much
time.  Thanks!!
