Finally got around to sorting out the big shed at the end of the garden in our new place, set up a table and got decent lighting out there so I now have somewhere nice to do some work in the evenings once the kids are in bed!
I've been eager to make something with these little dawn redwoods I bought from Herons when I visited last year. They'd been sat in their tiny pots since last feb so were insanely rootbound but had grown well over the last 12 months, and all I did was clip them a little through the year so I had some difference sizes when I got round to using them. I went with 8 and grouped them as a 5/3.
Quite pleased for my first try. I would have liked the left side to have been slightly higher up to give more gradient difference to the right but can be adjusted easy enough in future. Found it quite hard to work out the best way to photo it, most angles it appears the tops of the trees are all close in height when they aren't but due to perspective. Need to look more closely at how people take shots to get the best perspective to show relative heights of the front/back trees.
