Hi John,

One question, why did you arrange the group so symmetrical?

Biggest tree should be in front, but just out of the middle of the pot. The second biggest should be as far away as possible from the biggest at about 2/3, it should be placed slightly behind. Tree 3 should be further behind, but close to the biggest tree, on the opposite side of tree 2. The last 2 trees should be placed, 1 far back, probably between tree 1 and 2, the other one next to tree 2 but hanging to the side.
No trees can be placed on the same line in the pot.

This is somewhat how I learned to arrange trees in a forest, hopefully it helps you, cause you have some very nices Larches to make a great forest.

Cheers, Wessel
