No .. I will not be adding more trees it’s already an odd number ..it’s not so cookie cutter as you describe.

My comment was not suggesting the composition exists as an even number. But adding more trees and having an odd number will improve it. As others have stated, there are nearly even spaces between them, they are in 1 straight line, and roughly the same diameter. Adding trees in various sizes will accomplish a realistic forest composition in miniature/scale.

Nobody is attacking you or diminishing you in any way. Also, I’m not sure that “cookie cutter” is an accurate description of what others or I have identified.

Still obviously needs to be developed, size ,height, wiring will come and has 7 trees already you don’t always need to add more to a forest as you will learn when you make them..and which is why I’m rearranging it ..

I really like this forest. I can’t imagine trying to attach it to a rock though, that must be quite a challenge. Do you think the roots are fused at all at this point? And there’s accent plants!?!?

I get the impression of a sudden cliff along the line of these trees, it would be interesting to emphasize that with some more landscaping.

Yep the sedums are natives to the region and also hold soil together.. with the slab it will be much more manageable to get closer together and rearrange , and also with less soil erosion over time. With the stone when I use it for spruce .. there is another technique that would be better with or without muck… using wire screen to hold soil around the perimeter in place until it’s established.
Having good anchor points and drill pits to get into the rock is the key

View attachment 529779Drainage / Anchor holes complete . I will do a reverse tie down and tie a few wires to those junctures to act as anchor points for the forest arrangement. Diamond granite drill bits are not joke .. cut through like butter .. just put on ear protection!

Nice slab. Is that made from artificial substances or is it a stone slab?

Very nice and better on the slab. Please share your muck recipe, I read different versions of the cornstarch method.

1:1:1 corn starch( I mixed water and corn starch until dissolved , and cooked in microwave at 30 second intervals, until white and like pudding but not free flowing , more non Newtonian)
sphagnum and akadama fines
