Yeah, the spacing of the trees looks natural. I assume you'll be doing a bit more pruning at some point to clean it up a bit? After seeing your post, I decided to collect some Carpinus caroliniana of varying sizes to put together into a forest of my own next spring.

Yeah I’ll trim em down tonight .. plant the collected sizes hornbeams and place into an Anderson flat with pumice and regular soil mixture … set and forest for 2 years and the roots will escape and stick together in a group

I probably would of been tempted to wire them out by now, but I love styling. Even in the early stages while growing out.

Uesh these will be wired or pulled w guy wire for some but overall I’m just gonna grow or stunt depending on size and position in forest

How big do you foresee the final result to be?

Wondering any issue watering with soil so high in relation to pot?

Sphagnum is mounded up makes it look higher than it really is .. no issue.. maybe in future bring it down a bit underneath but I’ve seen plenty of examples of forests in trays with variation in elevation
