Sergio:
Your beech forest is truly becoming refined and I look forward to presenting it in International BONSAI, more so more people can appreciate the beauty you have created.

However it’s developing into a multiple trunk style forest. NOT raft because the original trunk is not straight. It is also not a sinuous style either because the original trunk is not curved. Your forest was developed from individual trees grouped together which have now grown together to create a beautiful multiple trunk forest.

Whatever you name it and call it, you did an excellent job creating beauty for others to enjoy and learn from.

Ugh. This forest is just incredible. I love how you’ve brought down the branches on the outside trees. A clear improvement from the original composition.

Received a nice surprised today in the mail. The beech article I wrote earlier this year for International Bonsai magazine has been published and today I got a few copies courtesy of @William N. Valavanis. Many thanks to him for a great job and continued success on his publication. Also a thank you to John Wiessinger for contacting me and help make the article happen.

Congratulations. Quick question, is that a different stone in 2015?

I want a Japanese beech forest so bad. I have never seen any for sale or seedlings either. The few trees I have seen need way too much work for the price. Julian Adams did tell me he had some in the ground he may dig come spring. Maybe I bite the bullet.
