do you have at least one forrest?

Does everyone have at least one forrest or group planting?
I found I needed one so I started a picea forrest.

Post some pics!

I love forests, but no I don't have one, yet.
@johng 's boxwood forest pathway was the first one that really caught my eye.
I have 10 Sakura seeds to plant next spring. Maybe a Sakura forest in my future.

Picture from last year. Needs some attention it's grown out of control this year, so has the kiddo!

 

[jcrossett]

I'll be starting one over the fall and spring

I have 2. Both are made from less than desirable species and are definitely no masterpieces but I am enjoying them.

My ERC group that is going into an Iker slab next spring.



My mixed red maple/sweetgum group. These were all volunteers that I collected around my property until I had enough to combine. This was right after I put it together and defoliated some of the trees. The picture makes it look like the they are all planted in a line but the front to back spacing is varied. It could be done better though. Natural placement of the trees is the hardest thing for me.

Just started about a month ago, silver maple forest.

I've got a few in development...including trident maple, korean hornbeams, dawn redwoods. Also have a "larch clump" that is really a raft with connected roots and 5 trunks. Nothing worth showing at this point, though. I've got a bunch of 2-4 year old Japanese maple seedlings, some of which will eventually go into a group planting.

Does this count?

@LanceMac10 :

Think it's part of the clump.

I was wondering if that smallest tree on the right was a root graft or something along those lines? Can you make it out @Brian Van Fleet ?

Here's one by a guy named Dean Bull, on display at MABA in Chicago, 1998. It always stuck with me. It was a forest fire scene regenerating with some little seedlings started among the charred remains.

 

[johng]

just 1???? I have at least 2 dozen forest, group, grove, and/or mixed plantings in my collection...from 4" to 4' and up to 70+ trees...

@johng 's boxwood forest pathway was the first one that really caught my eye.

...glad you liked it! I have 4 boxwood group plantings alone

I had a couple forests/groves that were broken up in the spring, to make more space on my balcony, most of the trees are now in the ground in my allotment...

I wanna set up a pile of sawdust and call it, the aftermath.
That's really cool tho.

It still exists although he has not shown it in awhile. Too much "Is it bonsai" controversy. What ever it is, it is cool.

Jeremy, I had never heard of Rowan's before, they look cool... do they produce fruit in pots?

 

[GailC]

Rowan, aka mountain ash. I have a few on my property that are somewhat weeping in nature, I plan on planting a few berries this fall.
