Hi all! Long time lurker trying to come out of my shell a bit.
I've started gathering maples for a bark forest collection. I don't intend to make a true forest. More like a group of individuals I can place together to show the interesting types of barks maples can have. Any suggestions on speices/cultivars to add to the list?
Trees I own so far:
Trident
Griseum (paperbark)
Red
Seedlings I have on order:
Davidii (snake bark)
Palmatum "Nashiki Gawa" (pine bark)
Elegantulum (bright green)
Coral bark...I forget which one
My end goal are trees 18"-24" with maybe 2" trunk. I prefer to start with seed (I'm in no hurry. It's the journey for me!) though for this project I'm mostly looking for young grafts or preferably rooted cuttings since some interesting options may be cultivars.
I'm very curious to see what you all would add to this list!
I have thought about doing something similar with leaf color as well. See if I could make a forest that was a rainbow of maple leaves! (Did I say it was the journey?)
Thanks!!
