Recently, I presented a talk to my local LUG (Lego Users Group) about LEGO landscaping techniques. As part of the talk, I put together several different landscapes (to come in the next blog post) and a group of various LEGO trees so that the LUG members could get a hands-on look at various building techniques.

The first of these trees is classic LEGO form, with a reddish-brown trunk and dark orange leaves. Various clips and bar connections are used to give the leaves slight angles, which create a more interesting shape than if they were attached at right angles.
