larch group

here,s a picture from the group off larch.

I like the naturalness of the trees, Eric, and with a bit of growth it will resemble a full size larch grove on a hillock quite near where I live.

As a matter of interest, do you plan to put any moss or small plantings round the slate base? I think a little would take way the hard edges of the slate where there are quite defined "crevices". But it could only be done in a minimal way so as not to detract the eye away from the larch group.

Like it.

I like it too, and agree that the slate "wall" needs some softening by moss or alyssum, or something.

I don't think I'd want to lift this one. <---- that's me and a hernia.

Very nice. My favourite tree is the larch and this looks very naturalistic.
How big is the planting aprox?

there is some moss and fern on the ground,i will try to make some pictures to show.
the slab is 1.3 meters wide.

This is a larch group that I made 3 years ago.That moss is wath
I used on the edge.

Oh, very nice, I like it a lot.

It's got a depth, a volume, that I find very attractive. The trees are less mature than Eric's forest, but I really enjoy the overall sight of this landscape, I find it very poetic, and the lines of the trees are very much to my tatse

hi! Friend!

use little yoghurt on the wals it ads and creates algea and collor!
Not harmfull i think,.....?

En ja slapuh!...

Eric, I really like the way you've put this group together. Very natural and a great perspective. Don't fancy moving it though.

That's beautifully done, Eric.

The slate (shape and colour) goes very well with this little forest but maybe it is a bit too thick: do you think it's possible to slice it down a little without breaking the whole thing ?

And maybe, I would straighten up the main tree a little...

I beg to differ. The more random angles in this planting, add to the charm and wildness. Straightening treees makes it look like forestry planting.

That's really why I suggested softening it down with moss or dwarf ferns or creeping small plants like thymus or sedum. I thought it was a composite rather than a single piece of slate which would allow a "layer" to be removed. But then, that's only my opinion. Maybe Eric is quite happy with it as it is.

@ chokkan, very nice coposition.
and to fiona,there is some moss and fern,the moss has to grow and the fern has to come out.
but i will try to make some pictures,and will post them.
it can thake a few weeks but i will show the pictures.
And the slab is planted last year, so it has to grow a lot including the lowest grow.
But i am really like all the thoughts and compliments and the improvements for the group.

Hi Eric.

Congratulation. Beautiful composition.

Lovely forest Eric. Very natural looking.

Well done.

here a picture how it,s now,the little plants and mosses are coming.
the hole thing needs a couple off year to grow.

Really starting to fill in nicely however you might want to start thinning out the interior a little looks a bit congested.Nice work.

Looking very nice!! Please post when the whole thing turns golden

yes i do have to start tothin out the forest,when it,s done i will show it to you
