I know there are currently a couple of threads running on how to make trees...so I thought I'd toss un one more.
In the southeastern U.S. we have a bush called crepe myrtle...they range from 2 - 20 ft tall, & have a large, red, or white multi-flower bloom in mid-summer.
In the fall, the blooms dry up into these multi-pod structures...
I went out & gathered a few this morning, & thought I'd show you what a great little armature these make.
I've cut these to be a good size for N scale, but you could easily cut larger pieces for HO.
The first pic shows the dried flower cut from the bush...
