Title: HO Apple trees?
Post by: deemery on March 19, 2026, 05:22:29 PM
Does anyone have a recommendation for HO scale apple trees?  Seems to me those should be 3" to 4" tall.  I'm modeling late summer, so I'd probably want a relatively small number of apples on the trees.  

If there's a commercial tree product that would work well (Apples are relatively sparse, right?) I could add my own apples  ;D

Dace,

For Orange trees, I used Walthers. I also added some orange from small beads.

You could pick the oranges and add apples with small red beads or your apples.

I've done a small apple orchard using blueberry twigs as armatures as a background to Little River Farm on my layout:

The natural bark color is reasonable for an apple tree, though some might want them a bit darker. The shape is beyond reproach.
