European beech group

I put this together today, and thought I would post a picture for some comments. The photos didn't turn out too well, it's cloudy and raining. I've had four of the trees for quite a few years. My wife bought them for me as a group of four probably 8 years ago. They weren't arranged too well in the least, were very top heavy, and I always wanted to add another tree. Several years ago I started reducing the height. I proceeded cautiously at first, with some good advice from Mark R. It worked so well that I reduced them yet again last year. I had also picked up a fifth tree along the way. I'm fairly pleased with how it came out. I managed to get the bigger scars turned to the back. The pot is 19" long, by Jim Barrett. Comments are always welcome,
zube
