My big Zelkova Nire Forest

Hi Friends
I want to show my forest planted in the spring on a plate by Erik
planted.'ve (Thanks again Erik)
I think the biggest bowl Erik has built. 140 cm wide ...
In a few years the forest can still be seen, right?

Wow!!!! You're right, that palmatum must be your smallest problem. I'm assuming you don't move this hoss of a forest. Beautiful work and slab. Erik is amazing!!!!

Thanks for sharing
Sam

Very beautiful.
Erik has constructed a similar slab for Mr. Walter Pall. You can see this here on page 10 of Erik's thread/atelier.

Hi Friends
Autumn is with us, because I want to show my forest.
Heinz

Autumn pictures of single trees are very nice, but forest in this time of year is just magical - and it has an ancient feel to it - thanks for posting

Hi Heinz,

This is an awesome forest! Thank you for sharing.
Just a question: Did you ever think about placing a rivulet curving among the trees into this composition?

Hello Taner
No, that's too cheesy for me

Hi Friends
My Forest in Spring.
Heinz

Nice job Heinz! Looks great, but there's two things that bug me about it. Well actually three. First, I think that the foliage is too low. Looks great when its bare, but in leaf I would like to see more length in those trunks. Second, I think you should consider trying to get more definition in the foliage pads. It may just be the photo, but these pads look too me a bit to uniform. Third thing that bugs me is that it's not in my en.

Great work mate!

Hi Andrew
You are right ...
The forest is not ready.
The foliage pads are in working
In a few years it is really ripe
Thank,s Andrew

Heinz,
It's a great piece of work, and the pot compliments it well. To my eye, the pot suggests a more rugged mountainous style of forest, while the trees are telling me open plain. Nonetheless, it's lovely.
A quick point I'd like some clarification on, a curiosity really. Why do you refer to the trees as "Zelcova Nire"? is the stock of Japanese origin? "NireKeyaki"(Nire Zelcova) is the Japanese name for Chinese Elm(not really a Zelkova at all, the Japanese often refer to Celtis as Keyaki(Zelcova) as well). That being said, the Japanese sports of Chinese elm commonly seen in Bonsai in Japan resemble the cork bark Chinese elms more than the standards, they're definitely worth differentiating.

Hello Ryan

Thanks for your comment
With us it as Zelkova or elm Ulmus japonica Black Nire be. Called
Chinese elms have a smooth trunk.
Just as the Zelkova serrata, which has larger leaves.
But in the family of the elms, the experts do not agree on designation.
Heinz

Superb trees and with great aged bark qualities very nice.

WOW!!!
Superb forest, congratulations Heinz.

Cheers, roland
