Hello nuts,
I am putting together a plan to plant my first forest. I've done plenty of research, ie..reading materials, talking with people, watching multiple videos, and inspecting many pictures. In all of my research, I have come across forest settings of only one species of trees. I was wondering if it was just a bad idea to make a forest of different species together, against "bonsai rules," or something else. I'd like to do a mix of one of these combos.... larch/ Dawn redwood, or dwarf spruce/ larch, or cotoneaster/ boxwood, or cotoneaster/ quince, or boxwood/ birch. I really love the look of larch, and they grow great in my area. I just would love to have a mix of species in one grove setting. Any suggestions or criticism is much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
PS. If anyone have a multi species forest, I'd love to see them.
