This was posted over at MRH forum. It's so good, I wanted to share it here:
Small pine trees are very common (at least in the northeast US) at the edges of woods, along roads, cuts, etc. Mix them up with tall weeds and shrubs.
Now "Barbatos Rex" on YouTube talks about using a food dehydrator to speed drying time on paints. That would probably also work for speeding up the assembly time for these trees.

Dave,
Excellent video, thanks for sharing.

Examples of small trees (White Pine, Red Oak) in the front of woodlots or wooded yards:

Thanks for the video Dave.
As good as this video was, I liked his many other videos on painting, weathering and scenery.
Small trees growing between a more mature forest and a cleared area is one stage of a process. Usually the owner of the cleared land will come along and cut the brush back to the property line.
The boundary between a permanent pasture and a forest will look different: Mature trees right up to the line the resident animals can reach over or through the fence, with a quarter to half of each tree's canopy overhanging the fence line.
