tips for creating foliage?

Trying to create a bunch of foliage assets for my scene. I am familiar with speedtree and will probably use that for the majority of the work. But is there anything I should be looking out for from a technical side in terms of optimization? What's the best, most efficient way to create a bunch of foliage assets thats not too hard on UE4?

I would love to make an atlas of multiple plants together on one texture sheet. Also make sure you keep your geo close to the cut out of the alpha to avoid transparency overlap.
