There you go 3 years in the making with custom pot... what do you think?

Look to get some taper in those trunks is my only advice. Great pot and the layout is quite good too I reckon. JM I think from the photo? Don’t mind a maple forest... keep showing your progress!

Hey PH,
Are you sure this is not maple masquerading as bamboo. Looks like a grove of bamboo culms.

On a more serious note - I reckon you’ll love playing with a JM forest - from here you’ll start to put a body on the skeleton- and by that I mean starting to choose buds and branches that makes sense for each tree but more importantly for the over shape and context of the first and each sub-group within. At least that’s part of what I enjoy about developing young forests - rubbing off a bud here, letting a branch develop there.... quite relaxing. Enjoy and keep us updated.

That’s a cool looking pot too.

Thank you thank you thank you!
Yes bamboo... not the first to say

Pot was commissioned last year from lovely talented Tracey @ Murrumbung Studio!
