Pigletts Progress

[JudyB]

Here is my little Trident Maple for the PP challenge. The tub that it's sitting in currently is 20" in diameter, so I think that it should be eligible.

The first picture is as purchased this past fall. I've done some work on reducing the branches down to what I'll use for the framework of the tree. I even chopped off one trunk and did a bit of carving.

This will get a pot this spring when the time is right, can't wait to do that!

There will be yet more branches to reduce, I seem to see new straight new sections every time I walk by it. Here is a current one.

More like porker then piglet! One of my fav. tridents I've seen and I'm sure that would grow if I saw it in person.

Judy, have you picked out a pot for it yet? Would love to see it

 

[fraser67]

Um...yup! I like me some pig lol...

 

[JudyB]

Yes this tree is going to be wonderful, the center of my collection I think. This tree is what made me realize that I need more time for working on my better things, and paring the collection to the best of what I have. I have Don to thank for this beauty BTW. He's the one who suggested it was the right tree for me. He was right.
Here is the new pot for it.

I don't know if this qualifies for the progressive challenge.. Is it over 3 inches? We are going to need to see the tape on this one!!

Jk of course! What a monster!

I'm not too sure... I think every trunk has to be over three inches... we will have to ask Al if he could allow this tree...

I think that even if each sub trunk has to be over 3" it would still go...
