You certainly have, that is an epic forest you have created a distingtive, wonderful line from foliage and trunk, i would say you have practically achieved a group of realistic miniature trees. And from ya garden? Are you tryin' to make me faint?! :lol:

Note: not from MY backyard. I go to our local ebay/Gerg's list, and search for people cleaning up in the garden.. Stuff like this you see online all the time, free pickup for self-digger: Jasmin tree:

And I let friends know I am happy to help out when they need big shrubs removed. That is how I get most of my plants.

This one will need aanother year of cleaning up the lower trunks. Most of the visible trunk were below-ground, and there is lots of small roots in the bark, which will com off it you peel the outer old bark. After that I will fill the canopy in an attempt to make it a coastal forest..

Sorry about the thank you i keep on pressing it by accident. But just to know it was from a garden and was an ordinary plant-wow. Coastal? Tha would look amazing with these trees. Just out of interest how would you find a world wide location website for getting plants when people do up their garden?

If you are in london, you could look at freecycle network. When I was living in Abbingdon, I was a member there. Often things popped by. If you were to advertise that you can help people with their garden, I am sure you will get responses. Just to be sure: If you are still quite young (Which I think), consider going with a parent, or at least let them know where you go, when you do. Not everyone is as friendly as us on the forum :S .
