Group planting Japanese Maple - "Sango Kaku"
I have purchased 12 sapling "sango kaku" japanese maples - I believe they
are also called coral bark. I intend to do a forest planting on slate. The trees are very young and whippy. I have been looking through my bonsai books for plant postioning for a 12 tree group and am still somewhat unsure of which direction to take as i have not yet tried a group. Can anyone refer me to an online tutorial or images of a 12 tree group/forest style planting? I have posted the slate base in the IBC gallery it is under the "Genus/Species?" heading. I have lifted the ash from the slate and potted up. I want to use this base for my group. Thanks |

I would plant them in a group planting tray. You want an odd number of trees. Keep the extra one in case one dies. Some of the books have diagrams of various number group plantings.
