Vue does not have shadow catching, unfortunately. It does make an attempt at it though when using the Environment mapping atmosphere model. But it is a joke (think 1994 rendering technology).
You'll need to import your plants into a rendering app that has shadow catching.
NOTE: In this Vue rendered video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ot6593zKBSE there are no tree shadows on the ground, even though a shadow pass was apparently rendered. That shadow pass would have to be used in another rendering app anyway.
