I agree, like I said on BonsaiSite, it already looks great. Really a great find!

Thanks rockm! :D My forest will be more focused on numbers and not so much on the trunks of the individual trees. But I will have one specific tree formed into the flat top style and the trunk on this one has more movement in it than a typical formal style cypress (nothing crazy, just not pencil...

That is actually the general idea for my forest. Thanks for the picture! It's kinda funny because at the moment my tree set up is very similar to this one except his are a lot nicer. I have one large flat top (not with a base like that thought, I wish!) and two slightly smaller trees. Then I...

Thanks! I now believe an oval should definitely look better, 100%. Just trying to find the right size now.

Are you happy with your purchase? Would you recommend? I've considered buying a tree from them if I happen to see the perfect one pop-up.

Happy bonsai? The lower branch is bothering me and needs work. Other than that it's kinda hard to get a good 360 view of the tree, the 2nd and 3rd pictures would be better if taken level like the 1st and 4th pictures and from the two remaining sides. Makes it difficult to view. Thats my 2 cents

So I'm confused... Is that an oval or a rectangle...? :rolleyes: Ok oval it is. Hahahaha :p

No big deal if it's off topic, still a good discussion. I do agree the 3 and 1 does seem to work. Maybe because the main tree is so large and it offsets the arrangement by having odd numbers on both sides? Yes it may be harder to arrange properly and still look good, but if you can make it look...

I was thinking about that as well. But for some reason it doesn't bother me to much, maybe because of the drastic size difference in the trees? I think, if it was mine, I would consider putting a smaller tree in front of the two on the right.

Ok, I just watched a few of your videos and you have some nice cypress. Those things are big and have real nice buttresses! I know a buddy of mine would freak if he could find something like that to collect here. We have been looking to collect some large bald cypress but haven't came up lucky yet.

Very nice, thanks for the pictures. Yeah, I mostly see forest in ovals but for some reason I keep thinking this particular idea will look good in a rectangle. Not sure why, maybe I'm over thinking it. The picture definitely helps though. The base on the largest tree looks amazing. Where did you...

I'm going to be creating a bald cypress forest in the spring most likely a natural swamp setting. I'm probably going to create an area to hold water to add to the natural look of the landscape. I've already prepared the larger trees over the past year and collected most the smaller tree's I need...

Very cool!

I've done a lot of landscape work over the years and realized they wont be easy to dig. I did fear, as you have stated, that this would be hard to do in one season. The surface roots are big and I would imagine not much along the lines of fine feeder roots anywhere near by.... hmmm not looking...

Thanks but it is quite hard to find much better around here. Hard to find anything real interesting in terms of yamadori, most everything is fairly straight with the exception of a select handful. I at least want to dig a few for experience with the species. Plus there are some I feel I can do...
