Re: Boxwood group

Jay and mister crow,

The number of trees is uneven. There is one tree hidden behind the largest tree from this angle. I made sure I used an uneven number of trees.
I deliberatly used such a big tree in comparison with the others to make a grandfather-father-son relationship in which the largest tree is the first one that grew and the others sprouted from seeds from this one.
I agree that the angle the other trees make is a bit to big. I wanted to imitate the groups that I have observed in nature where a young tree sprouts underneath an older one and grows to the light, but I overdid it.
I also agree that the planting is to symetrical. I will do this different the next time.
All in all the making of this group has been very enjoyable and I have learned a lot from it. I will probably take the group apart next year and adjust it. Maybe I can find a more suitable container for it aswell.

THANK YOU both for the comments and info. This is what I hoped for when I posted the photos and what makes this newsgroup so great !

regards, René
