Here are a couple that I built for the new GMLTC layout:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=35575

The two sizes of "multi-node leaf things" (good term, Amy!) are just stacked
on a piece of Technic flex tubing, and the tubing is stuck into the center
of a brown 2x2 round brick.  An old 'Ages 3+' green flower element helps top
the taller one, along with a few 1x1 green round bricks.

We made about 10 of this type of tree for our 'park' section, I hope to be
posting pictures soon.

(...) much better height than out-of-the-box LEGO trees. What does the terrain of 2x4 white bricks represent in the picture? Dave! (25 years ago, 16-Oct-01, to lugnet.build)
