AusBonsai

july 2007;
After the wirethon here last year where one of the lads broke a main branch here it is today. I ve managed to get my first thread graft done woopee. Also managed to grow a couple of roots higher up from drilling a couple of years ago. Time to saw the bottom off and graft some more higher up ;
Now yu must excuse me i have some root grafting to do to a couple of tridy's. Back later with the details.

Hi Ant, you got to love tridents. Did you grow this one ?

Hi Antonio,

I am not too sure why you cut off so much of roots? The big one I understand.

I hope you take some photos of the root grafting process.

(I have a feeling that, in a few years times, there will be a book with title like Ausbonsai.com Best Projects Illustrated,
and you will never know, one of Mr. Antonio's tridents will be in there )

Cheers.

Very nice looking tree love the progress i will be watching for more instructions and pic's

Looking great Ant. Glad this isn't the tree I worked on cos I don't recall breaking a leader! Lol

Cheers

Hi viet, book what book??? are they paying??? Now two reasons why; 1 to get rid of reverse taper and 2 to practice grafting. Now that i have had a practice im ready for "Trident a little different" , stay tuned but first a little reward with "Chianti Borgo Sanleo"

Now im ready

I am looking forward to see how it pans out

Thank you for the illustration.

Hi Ant,
Thank god you are taking the time out to fix the base on this one, trunk bases are what make the bonsai world go round as far as I'm concerned .
Fairly sure that is a high priority out Werribee way too .

I was once told "if you don't like it, then fix it. If you can't fix it, then don't bother with it in the first place."
If only that bit of advice had arrived at the start of the journey, not 4 years into it

Cheers,
Mojo

Thanks to all for your comments, cant wait till next year now!!!
