Supertree adhesive

Here is a question: what do you use to attach foliage to SuperTrees?  I have been using unscented hair spray which I find very easy to use.  My question concerns longevity: will this last a long time?  I don't want to plant hundreds of trees and then 5 years later have the scene turn into winter as leaves fall off.  On the other hand, the trees I put in maybe 3-4 years ago using hairspray seem to be lasting just fine, but I figure some TRW members have more years of experience than do I.  So, should I keep using hairspray or switch to something else?  Thanks! Bob

3M 77 or Loctite General Performance 100 Mist.  And if you grab a can of Loctite, make sure it is a mist and not a web spray.  Grabbed a web by mistake and you get exactly that, a web and you get strings between branches etc.  Looks bad.  I usually spray the tree, apply foliage, spray again, little more foliage, then I hit it again with hair spray just for good measure :D
