Novice questions about Trident maple

[Katie0317]

You might not find anything on the term cage per say, but its just a matter of wiring thinner, younger shoots more loosely than stronger more established branching. Im aware that on tridents, young shoots can snap when wired too tightly. Sean and Shibui have plenty of experience with Tridents, i'd lap up anything they say.

That's what I'll do Bobby...Wire loosely and keep a close eye on it. Am betting all three of you have created some beautiful maple trees!

I wouldn’t go that far, I just have a few that I’ve started from seed and am learning through experience based on the input from those far more experienced and knowledgeable (Shibui included) so I’m happy to share what I’ve learnt

Sean, Your instagram was fun to look at. Thanks for sharing.
