Season 2013 project ( Large elm forrest)
A few weeks ago came up with an idea of a large elm Forrest seen one on the net an it came to me that Ive got the stock to give it a go. Most of the trees now at my elm patch are mostly straight so going to collect some medium plus trees so when i put it together i can have smaller trunks as the trees get smaller as ive all ready got the main tree an smaller ones. Will put together the forrest in a few weeks if all goes well some that ive collected a while back ill have to be gentle with the others that i collect will be planted straight into the group im not one to waste time
Made the pot today 120X45X15cm cost just under $30 made it out of 1800x150x17mm permapine timber pictures below will update as i go

Attention MODS, please change heading to "freakin huge elm forest"
That is awesome and love where your going with it. It might just be the photo but the front of trees seems fairly flat, like a they are in a line. Might just be the photo though.

Re: Season 2013 project ( Large elm forrest)
Yeah you are right the front line of trees are abit flat across the front the main tree was collected about 5 weeks ago an has started to grow. Didnt want to re-cut the roots next year i will reduce back where possible allowing me to move it forward about 10-15cm. As for the other trees most have good nerbari so was trying to keep this wasnt easy to try an arrange cant wait till this time next year ill try better placement an show more of the nebariJosh wrote:Attention MODS, please change heading to "freakin huge elm forest"

Hi Olive, just for interests sake, not a comparison, I thought you might enjoy watching this if you haven't seen it yet.

Re: Season 2013 project ( Large elm forrest)
the big elm in this Forrest wasn't affected by the early re-pot as it continues to push heaps of shoots
