General Feasibility of Physical Models of Tree Branches

We tested both real and model branches of four local tree species ECUs in a wind tunnel, for wind speeds up to 20 m/s.The model branches were same-size replicas of the real branches obtained via photogrammetry and 3D-printed or CNC-machined.Real leaves were attached to the models in approximately similar configuration.After comparing the streamwise
