Non-flowering shrubs -
* Agave $55 - 550 polys
* Arisaema - (shading issues) $45 - 1160 polys
* Cacti and Stones - $210 - 1276 polys
* Cacti Round - $48 - 1120 polys
* Pachypodium Namaquanum $110 - 1244 polys
* Succulent Aeonium - Aeonium Arboreum $65 - 1255 polys
* Zamia - $85 - 1120 polys

Note 1: The arisaema has game generated shading issues with leaf pattern echoing on the leaves. It has to do with the game making shadows of the leaves on neighboring leaves and instead of making it darker, it puts an echo and smaller version of the texture. I tried many things to get rid of the shadows, including remaking the package and textures 3 times to no avail. It looks ok in game as long as you don't examine it too closely.

Note 2: The rock texture on the Cacti round was changed, the TS2 rock texture did not look good in TS3.
