Anyone know of a source for model trees?

Pretty much what the title says, however I am not looking for the craptacular Wal-Mart miniature Xmas trees and such, looking for decently priced model railroad type trees, probably Pine in nature, I've looked at ebay, and kind of decided they are a definite possibility, but wondering if there were any more options.

A LONG time ago, there was an advertiser on Bartertown that sold some, but that guy isn't around anymore. Any suggestions?

Canyon scenics...nice, but too pricey. Looking at the other now.

Have you tried just going to a model hobby train store? Or maybe using floral deco from a craft store? I also hear using aquarium plastic flora/fauna works well too.

Well, I don't really have a model train store local to me outside of the typical hobby stores such as Michaels and/or Hobby Lobby. Well I take that back, there is one, but I was looking for something decently priced...so no, I really only have the 2.

As for the aquarium stuff...cheesy cheesy cheesy looking for the most part. I've used that stuff before for bases when I was doing GTs and stuff back in my GW days. So, no. Like I said I was looking more for an online retailer than anything else. Thanks for the suggestions.
