Trident Maple

[Mellow Mullet]

About a year or so ago, @Vin gave me this awesome trident. It grew very well this year and I am fixing to give it trim and some wire

Looking forward to see what it looks like cleaned up!

After 25 pounds of wire:

Great tree! Great job wiring it up, I like what you’ve done with it.

This branch sticks out to me in the first image. To my eye it needs either more movement or maybe just remove it entirely. I’d lean toward removal, kinda looks likes it’s making a bar branch with the one opposite.

I look forward to seeing its development, looks like a fun project.

That’s a fantastic trunk. Developing that out is going to be very rewarding.

That branch is quite long and will be cut back in the fall or maybe removed. This was the first wiring since I got the tree from @Vin and it will need a lot more. I was just trying to establish some structure. I has a long way to go.

@Mellow Mullet It's come a long way since 2016 my friend. In your hands, I'm sure it will be an awesome tree. Keep us posted please!
