Hi Rene, just some thoughts of another novice. I was at a demo on group planting by Bill Valavanis this past March. If I remember correctly (always a problem) I notice a couple of things you might want to work on.
1-You have an even number of trees(6). This is something to avoid until the numbers get very large (over 10).
2- The largest tree is far to big for the rest of the group.
3- The outside trees are moving in two different directions, the ones on the left draw your eyes outward to the left and the ones on the right to the right!
4- It is a bit to symetrical.

Hey... what do I know,,, I have two group plantings started, I will try and take a pix or two and get them up...They are no great shakes.
