Habitat question

[Bigtime]

I'm just finishing up my Elk pedestal mount.  I want to put a Pine or Douglas fur sapling in the habitat.  Is there a way to preserve a real tree or do I need to go the artificial rout?

really no way to keep green needles on or green

McKenzie has some great artificial doug fur and podarosa pine. My customers love them.

That's what I thought.  I'll look into McKenzie's.  Thanks
