You could use branches (scrubbed to remove possible pesticides or other chemical sprays, loose bark, moss, etc) from trees that produce edible products like maples, fruit trees (orange, lemon, cherry), pines (scrub them after cutting to remove sticky sap), willows, alders, oaks. The Ficus group includes many types of figs.
