Hey, Im not exactly new to the world of dioramas and 1/6 scale figures. But one thing does elude me, and that is how I can go about creating a tree, preferably a weeping willow or some sort of flowering tree for a diorama. Any suggestions?

just throwin' this out there, I've never tried it--
find a tapering, fairly straight sapling branch, cut it to the height you want, drill small holes at a 45 degree angle, then insert fronds of aquarium plants like these--

Here is the link to my post about using a live little Christmas tree, WalMart sells them every Chistmas season, it worked really well until I forgot to water it several months later during the summer!

1/6t scale trees.

Every year when the stores start putting their Christmas stuff out I look at all their small trees hoping to find one that would be usable with our scale,but they always use needles from a full size fake trees,so they look wrong,I had thought about trimming them down but then the wires they are...

I bought fake plants or dried ones at places like hobby lobby. They can look pretty real.

Good idea. It’s just the matter of making it look like a real tree when putting them together
