Spring work on a small trident, grown in a box. Review of trunk line leads to chop, to address reverse taper midway up tree. Repot, roots combed out, cut back for taper and elimination of crossing roots. All down going roots eliminated. Goal is to have even, radial roots emerging from same level at trunk base. Trunk nailed to a solid board. Roots directed outwards, nails placed to direct all roots outward. Board and tree placed into larger box and soiled in. Wait 2-3 years. Develop next trunk segment/apex and major branches. Final height likely 50% taller.
