Hi All, These are three Tri Maples that i decided to put in to a group planting.

Absolutely beautiful group John.

Very nice -- a Hobbit-like landscape.
I'd like to see it in another pot, though. That blue is too strident, it takes the attention away from the trees.

I love the tree in the middle John.

Cheers,
Mojo

Absolutely stunning John, I love it...and yes...it does have a hobbit aura. I agree with Lisa about the tray it's in though. I'd like to see it in a brownish earth colour. You southerners are so lucky to be able to grow elms and maples, I just love them. We don't get a proper autumn in north Qld so we miss out on the beautiful colours.

Hi John , now thats very impressive , i can see a lot of work has gone into those trees .Cheers Alpine

John,

amazing trees mate, im with mojo on the tree in the middle DAMN NICE

Hi All, Got my neww pot at last.

Hi John I missed this when you first put it up. Very nice trees. I am not so keen on them in the setting though. I think the root over rock is a little too different than the other two trees. Maybe this will improve in time I would also want to turn that front tree slightly clockwise so that branch was not sticking straight at me.
I know you are going to hate me but I am not sure I am keen on the decoration on the side of the new pot.
I gather in a Forrest setting it looks a little contrived.

Great stuff though thanks for showing

Amazing the difference the pot makes! the trees are centre of attention now!

I love them just the way they are. I love the fine 'twiggery' (borrowed term from Jamie) and the root over rock looks right to me - since there are other rocks around - it gives it a hillside feel. Great work.

Nice trees John, I like the rocky terrain which makes it a little different frim the typical group planting and the pot is a ripper!
I am surprised to see you with a "non pine" but obviously you had at least 3 before you put them all in the one pot.

looks so good mate, suits the new pot better aswell

moss is the colour of envy

Love the grouping, great little forest setting, its like something out of a storybook that only the minds eye could capture. Great work mate.
