You
can always take a look on how your vegetation will appear in-game by
using your .cfl-file with ShowCFL. (see ShowCFL for more info)As you should already know from Tile specification file the vegetation parameters are also part of the .cfl-file. However the vegetation used on each tile is usually set with the VegetEdit tool which comes with this SDK. Please see VegetEdit for a documentation on how to add vegetation to your track pieces.
Below is an explanation of the vegetation section just for the completeness of this paragraph:
