PIGLET CHAPTER 2

[MACH5]

How old is the tree? Compliments.

Taking a conservative guess I would say 30+.

 

[Firstflush]

That is what I was guessing before your response. Thanks.

Thanks for the update, truly inspiring tree!
I'm not sure if it was mentioned before but , do you pinch your trident or just defoliate? I've got a trident I'm trying for a oak style.

Thanks Johnny!

Thus far I have let this tree extend and then cut it back. Main reason is that I am not quite yet in the refined phase of its development. Once I am there I will most likely start pinching to avoid shoots from getting too thick and maintain a "soft" silhouette.

Surely a future National entry on the books?

I love this tree so much!! This is becoming the standard by which all other Tridents are judged. I've really enjoyed watching it's development from when Judy had it through your involvement. You've definitely taken it to the next level, Sergio. I appreciate seeing a D-tree that doesn't conform to the typical Japanese formulas. It's looking like a very powerful, natural tree. Bravo!!

Hopefully at some point Paul. But it still has quite a bit to go.

Thank you @misfit11! Most certainly, the original grower, Don Blackmond and more recently, @JudyB , all contributed greatly in setting this tree for success.

How's the Fall treating Piglet?

 

[BobbyLane]

When you click on a Mach5 thread thinking he's made an anticipated update on the tree, but its just someone asking for an update

 

[leatherback]

@MACH5 the puppet master. Dance my little puppets. Dance and I might show you an update!

 

[MACH5]

How's the Fall treating Piglet?

Progressing nicely. Will do an update hopefully in another couple of weeks or so

 

[MACH5]

Winter update. Hoping to get a new pot in time for spring. If not it will stay in this pot until '24. Only minimal wire was needed now. The intended size of the canopy has not yet been reached but getting there.

Sorry, I need to go bed.

Looks like piglet is expanding nicely in all the right ways. Do you have a pot chosen as yet? Will be exciting to see set off in something nice.

And the crowd shouts, “Nat-tys…Nat-tys…Nat-tys”
looking great Serg.

Certainly a stunning pot, something is off for me for with Pig tho. Either the color of the painting or the decorative band....almost feels like it's trying too hard. maybe it'd grow on me...
