Neagari Trident...

[Cadillactaste]

Let's get a proper thread on this guy.

Collected this year. I'll not do much with it. Until it's dormant...then go in and clean it up. I intend to develop a dramatic cascading branch. That's about all I've put into it design wise.

I recognize that tree! It looks beautiful, and better than the initial pictures when it was for sale. I am sure you will make it a show worthy tree. I bought 3 regular maples from Cedar Rose this Spring.

Thank ya kindly...yes,it came from Cedar Rose Nursery. I'm itching to set it straight. But this isn't a sprint. This season is for a wild looking tree recovering from collection. Dormancy will offer me a new eye on it. What to keep...what to remove. And to keep up with a direction then after.

3 maples you say? Well lookie there...congratulations! Love maples. I'm quite happy with Dylan. New to me as a source. But I'm quite happy.

I'm lacking bench space. I'm intending to have my corner that was destroyed in wind or raccoons...for more trees. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. So...I needed this up off the ground. Yet able to anchor it so less chance of blowing over.

10x10 heavy mica pot...turned over. Bungee cord ran through the drain holes. For normal winds. It should be fine.

Well it slipped in under the radar of my husband. So it doesn't count in my incoming headcount he says I'll do this year. (wiggling eyebrows)

I'm in bed and my husband noted it was colder than normal. Had me check the weather. My trees all needed moved to the greenhouse. (((sigh))) but this time I had help. My two sons and husband brought everything to me.

My son...didn't undo the bungee cord on this. Lifted the entire thing and brought it. Now my husband asked...where did that come from!?!. I've had it. (Since last month) Just no bench space. And I didn’t lie. I did have it for a little bit...and no bench space.

What an interesting trident.

When you say 'collected,' was it found in the wild, or collected from somewhere you had this growing intentionally like this? If the latter, how did you manage to grow it like this?

Either way, it's both different and fascinating.

I got it from this bonsai nursery. https://cedarrosenursery.com/collections/deciduous-field-grown-bonsai

When I asked about when he would update his site again.

"Hi Darlene, autumn and winter are the main harvest time, but I have more material that I may put up soon. It's more difficult to photograph the trees when they are in full foliage, so we'll see."

And on the website...my tree had this as a note. So I imagine it was collected like the rest were. No clue how he developed it. I could be wrong... I imagine early on he decided it lent itself to this direction. The roots have pumice embedded here and there...so I'm not sure how he did it.

Just assumed...ground grown. With how thick it is.
Notes: DO NOT RE-POT THE TREE THIS SEASON. LET IT GROW IN THE NURSERY POT FOR AT LEAST ONE GROWING SEASON.

That's really interesting. Tridents make for some great bonsai, as is. This, though, is certain to be a head turner.

Thank ya kindly. It's definitely a nod to my title.

I am looking forward to next year when it can be tamed with a defined canopy.

Sent Dylan an email inquiring about the Trident. As to if I should wait for fall. He gave me the go-ahead to cut it back. Said I could wire it too. But I only stuck a bit of directional wire on the cascading drop branch. I'll do the detailed styling when it's dormant.
