Just wondering if anyone here has used real live plant material on their layouts. If so what did you use, and what do you do to it to make it last once installed?

We use [parts] of real plants for trees. Usually, the process of spraying them with hair spray or other substances to seal them preserves them as well. Also learned a trick of using glycerin to preserve them. This tree is a balsa trunk with preserved Ming Fern for the boughs.
The trees closer to the track in this cut were made from cuttings from a bush in a member's front yard. They were sprayed with hair spray and sprinkled with coarse and medium turf ground foam from Woodland Scenics.
