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

One to watch

Definitely one to watch, Lindsay Bebb had a large liquid amber forest at the fagen drive nursery, would stare at it for ages.

Hehehehe got these today oh my back

Looks like some good ones in there oc! Keep the pics coming!

This what i did with them you could get lost in the Forrest 13 trees in this large Forrest ill wait till they shoot well an maybe December ill pick new leaders on each of the trees ill try to get better pictures as soon as i can been a long day

Second picture shows the size of it with my 5yr old daughter

This could be VERY cool!! Thanks for sharing!

*watching your progress*

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.

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 nebari

WOW

Five years this forest will be one to watch
I feel for your back though

Have fun with it

Let them settle in this year and recover, then next year, Repot a move the trees around to bring some further forward.
clump them together a little more on the left as well.

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

Never seen that video but had seen the pictures its the forrest that got me thinking about doing one my self as ive got the material to use after watching that video makes me realize how big mine is .

Any one who wants a Forrest like this an haven't got the trees i recommend going an collecting boot full of ash or elms from the wild an give it a go

the big elm in this Forrest wasn't affected by the early re-pot as it continues to push heaps of shoots
