I remember watching this 5 years ago and it inspired me to do this then. I was just telling my now wife what I did wrong since I gave up on the project until I learned something about spray adhesive a few years later. Spray adhesives (or at least many of them) will NEVER lose their tackiness without sealing them. I waited for my finished tree to stop being tacky so I could use it and it never did. Even after ~a year of dust collection on my shelf waiting it never stopped being tacky. So seal your tree when you are done with some sort of spray lacquer or whatever. Just wish I had realized this 5 years ago :)

Great video, and very effective method for making small-scale realistic trees. I love the apples. BTW, reading the comments here I note that @Masked Mustachio mentions the tackiness of spray adhesives causing problems with dust even after a year of 'drying'. This would be an even greater problem with larger-scale trees. I'd like to point out that I've solved this problem by making 'indestructible trees' which can be jet-washed with water AND vacuum-cleaned. The secret is to glue the foliage to the 'twigs' by dunking the 'clumps' of twigs in Cyano-arcylate glue, then dunking them in the scatter. This creates strong and ever-lasting foliage. The twigs meanwhile, are made from nylon-monofilament fishing line, which is flexible and 'ever-lasting' and the branches to which they are fixed are made from 'wire-cored garden twine' which is also flexible and 'ever-lasting'. The upshot of all of this is that the leaves, twigs and branches are ALL flexible and highly resistant to damage from knocking, bashing, crushing, bending, being blasted with jet water, and vacuum-cleaned. I don't know if that's of any help for you, but maybe it is to other viewers. I do have vids, and show the method for the construction of a 13 inch high 'Yew tree' and then I throw it across my table and bash it repeatedly on the bench to show just how indestructible it is! LOL.
