The first forest I killed when I first started Bonsai. 5 dwarf alberta spruce. This is my second forest. Japanese boxwood. Started spring 2016. Purchased 7 on clearance from big box nursery at $4 a piece. Picked each based on size variability (as much as I could at least) root flare/nebari and canopy and branch interest. I was inspired by John Geanangles boxwood forest from youtube. Ive never wired them, only trim and grow. I could probably go in and wire at some point, but I probably won't. Needs a nice pot and some legit moss as well.
