Is this what your going for. It'll most likely require constant trimming to keep it like this. I will be watching this one. Great job on the hardscape so far!
Thank you.

I have seen this one too and it's awesome. My scape layout is different in the sense, that it does not portray the forest from so close, so the "tree" sizes will be smaller. But yes, as far as the pine tree structure is concerned, this is the shape I want to achieve. Not too worried about the trimming frequency. Once the moss starts to flourish, a trim every 2-3 weeks should keep them in shape.

What I am not sure of is whether I will be able to get this kind of shape with christmas moss or not. I have thought of using flame moss as well, but since I had christmas moss in hand, let me see how it goes with them before I decide on flame moss.

Any ideas are welcome.
