Sorry (still a beginner), it sounds pretty much work to generate these bushes.
But I think the result is worth to do it.
Later on you could use functions to put them almost randomly in a landscape.
Oh, that'll really look pretty. (Thinking of grass, flowers, bushes -> sweet

So you get with your macros also other bushes-like shapes, I got it?
When will you show the next images? ;)
