Trident with nice base

[davetree]

This trident maple is about 10-11 inches tall. It has a great base and nice curves. I got it as a taller tree, and I chopped it back twice. Can you see where the first of four chops was done ? The tree is from Telperion Farms, they have great stuff.

Next year into a proper pot hopefully, and I will also graft a couple of branches on the left just above the third chop. I love trident maple - it seems to be one of the easiest trees to work with.

Great base and love the trunk movement! Really nice tree. Do yout have any pics from before chops?
Thanks for sharing.

I have a pic somewhere. The tree was twice as tall, with a stove pipe going up from the left.

Gotta love those tridents. Wonder if Gary Wood worked on that one?

Pretty sure that he did.
