Our planting consisted of 10 multi-trunk Pomegranate (Punica Granatum) trees. The forest was planted in soil which was held together by mutton cloth, onto a large slab of black natural rock which was found about 2 years ago.

The forest will take between 1-3 weeks to settle in and for the roots to take hold of the soil. The mutton cloth will take about 6-8 months to decompose leaving just the soil and rock. Moss has been planted on the surface which will hopefully grow successfully, adding some character to the planting.
Creating the forest was good fun and a great learning experience, receiving advice from top bonsai artist, Rudi Adam. Hopefully all those who got to watch the process were inspired and enjoyed it as much as my fellow planters and I did.
* Photos will be added shortly once the forest has settled.
