and this is a close-up again.

compared to the last detail it is IMHO more realistic. The main stem is now
greenish on the tip and brownish on the root. The small stem of the leaves
is now more realistic (it was a blob but the periodic bumps were aretfacts).

Unfortunately show the shadows artefacts due to the triangle nature of the
mesh. The normals do their best but if the angle of incoming light is too
small the whole triangle "drops out."
In this situation one should place the light sources carefully or should use
area lights.
