Field Grown Trident Maple Bonsai Specimen

[@jagboy69]

Congrats! 200bucks you did awesome! I was in Dallas the other day and went to that nursery up near addison, but they had nothing in stock. I brain dumped about the bonsai nursery you told me about. I ended up getting a couple of cheap tiny maples from Mr Maple to try. I hear they are next to impossible to grow in west texas, but I am gonna try before investing the bucks. You are gonna do great in Dallas with this trident!

Thank you very much, yes i am excited and still can't believe i got this tree. I really wish we could grow Japanese maples better , ive seen it done but foliage always looks not the best during summer. But tridents are pretty though here😁

[@dreamingofbonsai]

OMG. That is incredible. What a good score! You'll have an amazing tree for many many years! I think you are on the right track pruning the leader back where you were pointing at the 3:06 mark. That will look great.

Yes i am so happy to have been able to get it. Thank you i was undecided on which one to choose but you are definitely right that ones will be the lead and chop will be done😁

[@dreamingofbonsai]

@@lifeofbonsai I'm excited to see the eventual new styling!

[@lifeofbonsai]

Yes , will be posting updates on it😁

Wow, what an amazing trident maple ... very curious to see the future development.

[@lifeofbonsai]

Yes i am excited to see it wake up this spring and see what it gives me to work with

Nice Trident, I'm sure most would love one like that! My main Trident is currently in the ground for the past 5 years and it's not even close to that thick. Love the taper and movement on yours, it's a good example for what I'm looking to achieve with mine.

[@lifeofbonsai]

Yes o couldn't pass on it. But 5 years wow i am sure that boy is thickening up really nicely 😁. Doing development of taper while in the ground? Ive heard is faster

[@adamnorris8006]

so so great, and i cant believe you got it for 200 man. great taper and flow even. excited to see more videos of it!

[@lifeofbonsai]

Yes same here, well taxes added up lol but still the tree is really really nice, in some seasons it will be a nice bonsai 😁
