Certain trees in film aren’t chosen by accident. Their form, the movement of the trunk, the gesture of a branch—offers more than visual interest. Trees can set the tone, root us in place, and subtly underscore the emotional weight of a scene. The Oak in Forrest Gump does all of this and more. It becomes a symbol—of home, of memory, of Forrest’s connection to Jenny. As we return to it throughout the film, the tree serves as a living witness to the passage of time and the evolution of relationship. The Oak’s sweeping lower branches are characteristic of ancient trees found throughout the Southeastern United States. When we noticed a similar branching structure in one of the Boxwoods here at the garden, we couldn’t help but draw the connection. In placing them side by side, we allowed the cinematic and the botanical to inform one another—an exploration of memory, form, and meaning, seen through the lens of bonsai.
