Gorgeous trees. I particularly like the arrangement of the trunks in the second group. Wow.

Re: Maples in May
That's good colour considering you're not too far from the coast. Nice and even over the entire group too.

Re: Maples in May
Wonderful colour Treeman.
This is what I plan to do with about 8 Chinese Pistachios that popped up in my front garden. They're currently residing in a styro box to mature and obtain the right pot.

Nice.
I'm in Melbournes inner North and at best, I've got a tinge of colour change so far!

Inspirational Mike!
When i started out in bonsai I was not that keen on forest plantings at all, i'm definitely coming around though.

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: Maples in May
Regarding the colour, one trick I find helps is to keep the trees under about 70% shade during say Feb and March and this somehow keeps the leaves a bit softer. Then once they go out in full sun again in late March - April, they colour up quickly and evenly. Also, where I am the nights go down to about 6 pretty regularly which is lower than some other places around here. I'm in a kind of valley.
Mike
