Remember the video of such a practice where they added quirky movement to the tree saplings?

Looking for the link. There was a guy long ago doing many of these...and had a video of his work. Can't find that link. But here is one that goes with this sort of.

I'd Ike start one this year similar to how @Stickroot did his trident fusion, but I'll be using silver maples. I'll start a thread when I do it, but I plan on using most of these guys.

Done. There's some space in between them, but these things grow and thicken so fast I imagine they should almost be touching by fall.
5 inches at the base and 22 inches tall. Hopefully this works well, if not I can grow these things from seed all day long.

When they start touching, you can scrape the cambiums and tie them together...

I got some tridents that I tied together two seasons ago. Growth is generally slow here, so i'm trying to thicken it faster. It's fusing now in the second season ...

@Stickroot Yeah that's the plan. I'll taper it by strategically removing top parts...
Hope I can come close to your beauty.

Really irritated I can't seem to find the website for this fella. Was cleaning up my photos...deleting ones and such. Stumbled upon this guy. This guy I wanted to find his website...but have yet to stumble upon it again.
Was sure we had a post thread on this guys site.

I believe this article is of the one the photos are of I shared earlier. The link offered to the individual is also of the second link below it as well.

I keep finding sites with links to a site which is no longer operating. Though this one offers up a given name the one went under and contact info. Sad to see the original site down...and the photos removed from this site. I happened to save the photos because I was intrigued.

I did a engine search here...Dugzbonsai and his link continues to pop up. He used to sell on eBay under the name Dougdog it appears. But he seems to have disappeared. His photos most are gone off of the sites I found. But...it's an interesting concept. Growing in a grow box is surely a quicker way to thicken and see your fusion happen sooner.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing an update. Do you have a particular thread on this tree?

Small world...just seen on Facebook.
Doug Philips doing a demonstration of how he constructs one of his fused trunk trident maples for the Indianapolis Bonsai Club last night.
Glad to see he is still around...even if he website isn't. I posted to the post. Who knows...maybe he has a new site we are unfamiliar with and can't find. But it's good to see he's still doing what he loves to do, and teaching others as well. Took one of the photos since its on a social site to share...the trees are unique that is for sure.
