the top has had a few setbacks mainly with my graft breaking in a wind storm a few days after i took some wire off it
due for a repot this winter. ill get some pics up if autumn good this year. it usually puts on a show. I have a new bud to become the apex but it has been slow to develop. The base keeps cracking that orange bark which is really nice

Its getting better . Im hopefully back in the bonsai area in a fortnight to finish some VERY late repotting . it has been the wettest up here for years . Since may I have measured just under 800mm which is around our annual rainfall here

finally got around to posting a picture as of today . Its getting there . Unfortunity the tree was somewhat styled like a pine with branches about parallel . It's something that I know what needs to happen to make this tree something special but reluctant to cut off years of hard work on these branches .Anyway one day I might bite the bullet and do it . Trunk is about 25cm across at base

So I was overseas recently for a few weeks and missed most of the late autumn turn but this large trident is always late so got a pic this morning . Its my second largest trident but proberly has the best bark out of all of them. The top is coming along slowly.

Looks great! I somehow have ended up with only one trident maple despite my love being deciduous trees so this is great motivation!
