Okay... I'm more familiar with mapping but as I am on a vacation now and I can't map (What a misery.) I decided to mess with Gimp and yeah... never got an icon approved before but this is what I got. (I used the following picture to get the shapes etc.)
Please don't yell at me =D
Big image.
I noticed something weird happened when I rescaled the image to 64x64, the layers got somehow messed up and clipped some parts of the image out and yeah... but never mind, nothing major you could notice in game I think.
Update - darkened the background.

Honestly, I do not like the background. Maybe black will do, IMO.

Perhaps darkening the background a bit, so the leaves are more visible?

Oh wow I am so noob, did not remember to rescale it once again...
Edited, now it is correct scale again. Is it better now with darker background?

The icon looks blurry and faint.
First of all, i suggest u to zoom it in. A lot of space in the icon is unused, just faded bg.
Then, define those leaves better, using more vivid colors, shading and highlights.
Atm all the colors, shading and details are faint, giving a overall boring appearance.
The bg doesn't help those leaves to stand out.
It'd be preferable to create a contrast between those leaves(foreground) and the bg.
The foreground is made to stand out from the bg by use of contrast, focus, etc. Usually, the foreground colors are more varied and sharper than the bg ones.
So, i suggest u to either darken the background or lighten the background and darken the leaves.
