Can anyone suggest possible solutions for animating a subtle wind movement through plants and trees?

I've looked into Onyx with Tree Storm in mind, but the models are not doing it for me. I've modelled and textured individual branches which I will proxy around the main structure to create a complete tree. For the animation I've experimented with FFD boxes using Flex for the secondary movement which works, but I want to get the 'flutter' on the leaves.

Thanks!

something I came across and thought it might be an option, but it seems to be released soon.

cheers!
