The new woods were planted at the start of this year in Peartree Park, Chells Park and at Symonds Green, bordering the motorway and train line.
There are 13 different species in each woodland with around 30,000 trees per hectare.
The woods get their Japanese-style from a planting method called Miyawaki.

The planting method was pioneered by Japanese botanist, Dr Akira Miyawaki, and trees planted this way are said to grow much faster.
This is because they jump start the forest creation process and capture more carbon.
Three micro woods were planted in winter 2024/25 in Stevenage at St Nicholas Park, Hampson Park and Shephalbury Park, which were funded through the Coronation Living Heritage Fund to mark the Coronation of His Majesty King Charles III.
Councillor Rob Broom, Cabinet Member for Environment and Climate Change, said: “These three new micro woods will improve the health and wellbeing of residents for generations to come, bring joy, and provide a boost to our local natural environment.
“We all know how important trees are to the planet and to our health, and the planting of the three micro woods follows on from our other endeavours to improve the environment for local people and wildlife – including the planting of Fairlane Wood and our other micro woods, wildflower and grassland meadows, and community orchards.”
