List all the types of trees in Russia by region – seriously?
It's a huge place from the Pacific to the Baltic and the Arctic to the Chinese border with many, many climates.
The same variation applies in a lesser degree to the other 3 regions actually.
In that list you must cover just about every general group of trees except tropical rain forest.
I would suggest using Google maps satellite photos of the specific areas you are interested in.
Or at least be more specific about the area of interest. |

Also, what scale? In 6mm are you really going to go beyond 'fir tress' and 'other trees'? |

I use pretty generic deciduous trees for almost everywhere but supplement them with more geographically specific or charismatic types to meke a bit more area favour. So….
France -poplars
Russia/Scandinavia- fir trees and birch
Mediterranean Olive groves, scrub and fruit trees (orange)
Britain- Some Scots pine in the north deciduous everywhere else. Some Birch. (No firs until the 20th century) That's good enough for me. |

Only three types of tree:
1. Fir
2. Poplar
3. Bushy topped. So:
Russia 1 and some 3
France 3 and some 2
Italy 2 and some 3
North Africa 3, scrubby. (possibly + palms) |

Colin…what sort of sponge? Ordinary bath sponge? How do you grind it up? |

France has a lot of roads with a line of poplar on each side. Not sure whether it's true but I heard they were planted to shade napoleons marching infantry. Britain and parts of europe are still pretty much green in summer. How big will your trees be?
Do you really want to differentiate between oak, beech, sweet and horse chestnut? All common in the uk and large parts of europe. The horse chestnut was introduced for it's decorative candles. |

At larger scales you can substitute rubberised horsehair for the wire wool.
The Victorian's version of rubber foam for upholstery – comes in sheets usually about an inch thick.
I bought some pre made and kits from "realistic trees" some time back.
Not sure whether photobucket works now:
