Does anyone know of a UK based supplier of palm trees suitable for use with 15mm figures? I've tried searching on line but no luck. Thinking of doing some armies from Near East and Middle east and thought their camps would look good with a few palms.

Does anyone know of a UK based supplier of palm trees suitable for use with 15mm figures? I've tried searching on line but no luck. Thinking of doing some armies from Near East and Middle east and thought their camps would look good with a few palms. I knew Essex offered an Arab camp with palm trees, but looking at their online shop they are no longer offering any camps, unless the list is tucked away elsewhere in their catalogue.
I don’t know if it is the a tradition in the UK, but cake decorations in the US also had ideal 15mm palm trees. Here are photos of the palm trees on the game table.

I got some from China on Ebay.
They are great but I can never remember if they are coconut palms and should be date palms or the other way around.

I would say S&A Scenics but their web page seems to have disappeared.

Goragrad,
Thank you for locating them.
Mine are from China and one gross of paired palm trees came to a very low price ($20 -$30). The Vietnam project never came to fruition, but all the palm trees are based.

Don't know if the scale is right for you, but these guys do make these trees themselves, so maybe they could do custom ones?
I love going to that store and seeing the employees working on projects.
There is also a great pub just a few blocks away

The absolute BEST palm trees can be got from 4D model shop.

I knew I had some somewhere. I've just found them (while looking for something else, naturally). They are from Timecast and I think they're very good indeed.

Thanks for the extra recommendations. The 4D trees look very nice; pity they are closed due to Covid 19. Still I'm in no hurry.
