Long Leaf Shrubs

Long leaf shrubs for diorama riverbeds, jungle scenes, forest undergrowth, and any setting where broad-leafed plants are the dominant vegetation — individually hand-made pieces with the kind of natural variation that machined paper plants can't replicate.

Each shrub has long stems with big broad leaves — closer in look to real ferns, palmetto, or tropical undergrowth than to typical grass tufts or short bushes. The 10cm length makes them substantial scenic elements suitable for layouts in scales from 1/72 wargame figures up to 1/32 large-scale builds.

Works great for:

• Tropical and jungle dioramas — Pacific theatre, Vietnam War, modern conflicts
• Riverbed and marsh vegetation — broad-leafed bank plants
• Forest and woodland scenes — fern and undergrowth detail
• Wargame terrain — jungle skirmish boards, swamp terrain
• 1/72 to 1/32 scale dioramas — versatile across multiple scales

Key features:

• Long leaf shrubs with broad foliage
• Approximately 10 cm (3.93 in.) long per shrub
• Compatible with 1/72 to 1/32 scales depending on placement
• Hand-made — each piece varies slightly for natural realism
• Attach with PVA glue (white glue)

Tip: Plant in irregular clusters of 3-5 plants, never in straight lines. In nature, broad-leafed plants spread from a root system and grow in clumps — scattered single placements read as artificial. Mix with shorter ground cover for layered authentic vegetation.

For a complete tropical or jungle scene, combine with our bamboo plants and reed grass for varied authentic vegetation.
