Although John is now deceased, I don't think his books are out of
print.

Your maples should make it. If they have small leaves, they will
make a nice grove. If thay have large leaves ;you will have to
wait until the trunks are in proportion to the leaves.

What size pot did you put the maples in? Are they close together
or separated?

I think Jphn Naka's Techniques one has the most thorough
explanation of a forest planting. It is out of print, but
perhaps you can find a copy at a library.

the years. Now I am going to give it a try. First forgive me for
asking a
dumb question or two.
I have always like the group or forest looking trees and have
want to go
with that look. I got 5 maple( dont really what type of) seedings
that I
found growing in the flower beds and put then in a pot. They are
doing well growing and new leaves coming out.
Can anyone tell me if this has a chance of making it or am I
wasting my
time?
How long before I have to trim the roots, this coming spring?
What is a good book to read on Bonsai mainly on the group or
forest
plantings?
thanks for your help
Also I lived about 60 miles southeast of Columbus,Ohio any clubs
nearby?
