If you fancy making your own, Herb Gundt did an article on making acacias in Wargames Illustrated 151.

Beautiful creations, but way out of my league.

These guys sell them as well http://mbtandt.webs.com/ Can't comment on quality as I've never used them so far.
Several different price ranges. They are in the wonderful land of Oz, so Ozzy dollars but maybe a bit more in shipping etc.

Yah, the plastic baobob is just gorgeous, I had to buy one and a pair of acacias and a pair of mopane trees as well.   For the last two years I have been trying to work the baobob into a scenario.  Perfect for a BIG baobob in 28mm.

Hi,

I'm co-owner of Murray Bridge Trees and Terrain, linked above, and would just like to take this opportunity to apologise for our very, very ordinary website :(
We do plan to improve this... Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions or e-mail me through the address on the website.

For what it's worth, there are some more photos in my Photobucket album: http://s92.photobucket.com/albums/l12/LeadBear/African%20Trees/

Kind Regards,

Barry Scarlett

Me too. I could buy 'real life' saplings for the price of some of those. :-[

I have had the same problem and made some acacia trees from wire, poly-fiber (aquarium stuff) and fine turf…
