Gradient Trees help!

[Magillag]

 Hi All! I have a vector graphic of some pine trees, that I am trying to get to look like these trees with red to black gradient. I tried the gradient and gradient mesh without much luck. Could someone help me fugger this out?? Thanks!!

I don't think that there is just a gradient applied on that car. There is some texture in the trees as well. But it would help to have a better photo.

It is really hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like a tree is either red or black and perhaps a blending mode is added to let the black show through the red. Can you get a photo straight on so we can see better?

I dont have a better photo unfortunately...

Then perhaps try playing with the blending modes to see if you can get it to look the way you want.
