I'm finding it quite hard to draw those. Thank you!

Keep your detail on the edges and do not fill in so much detail in the middle. if you are using color, don't use more than 3 shades in the middle....
The idea is to draw the eye towards the edge of the foliage instead of right to the center of it...

When I was in art school they had us draw crumpled paper with single hard lines. You were not allowed to look at your paper except to find your place, but only move your pencil when you were looking exactly at the place you are drawing.
This is very much harder than it sounds, but it forces you to look at the detail you are drawing and not make assumptions about it, (you always do and you are always wrong) and it also forces you to match the distance your hand moves with the distance you see.
At first everyone is terrible, distances are wrong, they miss stuff , lines do not match, but like playing exercises on a piano, you build skill, and eventually you can draw anything you see, with your eye, or in your mind, in details you do not think about now.
Then when you see a tree, or plant, lines and patterns will pop out at you and your hand skill will draw them easily, and people will be able to recognize the species and individual tree, by your drawing. Having great skill is not the same as artistic talent, but like playing the piano, if you do not have the skills who could tell, or would care to.

Take an art class!
Use a pencil and make little fine lines where you want it to go!
Color it in with your favorite crayola!
