@fbailey You have to take many shots before you succeed, because each time the wind moves plants in a different way. I have taken about 30 shots for this purpose and only three of them were satisfactory. I used small tele-lens 75mm. The wind was very strong then, so I did not care much about exposure time. The most important was setting a proper aperture: I have chosen a very small one f/18 so that everything was focused (although it moved in the picture). I wish you luck in your trials.
