Was seed grown from a tree up the street and suffered between a couple of bricks when I found it 2 years ago.
Probably my favorite jigger as it's got authentic history with a parent only a few houses away.

Trident knows it's Spring.
Pity I can't find last Winters glory pics for this little one but decided to take a few snaps before I think about a clip.

Re: Trident knows it's Spring.
This winters progress on my little trident plus another I have been working on.
I re potted the little Spring foliage one during Autumn and wired it up.
De wired now and waiting for buds to pop.
I'm happy with it so far.
The send one i purchase from last years Show at Box hill (Vic) and gave it a savage wire up.

Re: Trident knows it's Spring.
Cool..
I wouldn't be afraid to get some taper in your branches by chopping back a node or 3.
2nd tree looks like a Japanese maple to me.

Bit of a brain fade on my part.
Cut back the Trident or the Japanese??
I was thinking the Trident branches may get too thick for it's small size to chop more out of it.
I'm open on it though and I see that the Japanese does have leggy spacing between nodes.
Thanks for the interest..will attack the Japanese today I'm thinking.

Re: Trident knows it's Spring.
I think both trident and JM need some taper in both trunk and branches.. I'd consider letting a leader run wild as a sacrifice in a bid to thicken trunk whilst working on ramification.
