I have several "snake bark" maples, among them a dozen or so Acer davidii.

The leaves are quite big though I can see that with proper care like you did with your forest they can reduce well to the overall shape of the design.

The feature we're looking for is that marbled bark (""corce jaspée" in French), but it's hard to make it a focal point with young potted trees...
Yes mine are getting smaller as I get used to how this one grows. I love that bark!

Here are a few Liquidambar that I have a thread on. These were collected this year as just stumps, so I’m just hap they’re still alive. I’ll start working them next year, but the colors are still nice.
