Purple Beech Forest

- Purchased a pot of 5 bare root purple beech hedging plants.
- Potted in compost with sphagnum moss around roots of trees
- Trimmed a couple of crazy branches

Edit: I also Potted about 4 of the branches I trimmed off to hopefully add to the forest later on

- Learnt more about soil for bonsai trees and scooped the majority of the compost out without disturbing the moss around base of the trees. Replaced it with a mix of 1:1 molar clay and fine bark

It seems one of the trees didn't make it, I've done a scratch test to see which of the tree are still green. This one is not. Unsure if I should take it out or keep it in as a sort of feature.
