This is my 7 tree Catlin Elm forest now that I have decided to change it. I liked the dominant tree and a little one growing in its shade and thought it would make a nice two tree scene. I made a slab from a piece of Ohio river sediment rock and some cement for the remaining 5 trees. The original forest can be seen in these threads here at the only Bonsai forum worth my time on the internet, the incomparable Bonsainut !--> http://bonsainut.com/forums/showthread.php?9741-What-the-hell-is-wrong-with-some-people or this one --> http://bonsainut.com/forums/showthread.php?7124-Catlin-Elm-7-tree-forest
This is the new 5 tree forest in my slab.

I think they are nice, they have just been cut back and nearly defoliated about 2 weeks ago. here are my standard size reference shots, notice the use of the American coke can, some joker here was using a foreign soda can, what the Eff ? , you'd think this was an international site or sumthin' .![Wink ;) ;)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png)
