I bought this larch forest very cheap from a friend last fall. It has been a planting for 8-10 years and is starting to show some maturity in the trunks.
I find there are some flaws with it that bother me. There is not enough range between the trunk sizes (there are only three sizes of trunks but I think for a forest with this many trees there should be at least 4-5 sizes), there is a lack of harmony between the movement of the trunks, and of course the pot is atrocious.
Anyway, I am thinking of tearing the whole thing apart (might be difficult to separate them but possible) and using them as raw material. I think I could make a compact 5 trunk planting that uses the best trunks in there and will be better than the current image. As for the rest of the trunks, I'm sure I could find another 3-5 trunk planting in there using the B-grade trunks.
Thoughts?
