Question for diorama makers:

As I am helping take down the Christmas tree I am noticing some branches/ fronds that would make nice evergreen

Unfortunately some of the tree is already dry (happened very fast even with water)

Is it too late to salvage them and spray them with glycerin or hairspray?

I am afraid it will not help. They will turn brown even when sprayed .

You could spray them with green paint, this would solve the problem.( I do it with other natural material I use in my dioramas)

Thanks for answering!

So, I would have needed to cut them immediately, or at least very early, after getting it to keep them from turning?

No no use, nothing helps, it's nature . Cut them now and spray them with green paint and when the paint is dry spray them with glue . This is I think the only way to save them for further use in your diorama .
