Another trident forest

You all probably remember this one. It is a trident maple raft planting as a soon-to-be-windswept tree.

I haven't tried more than one pic on a page yet, so this is an experiment, but here is the first pic you saw:

Then, Rudi did a sketch:

And here it is today:

It still has quite a ways to go, but I'll start working on ramification and careful pruning and I might be approaching Rudi's sketch. Again, thanks, Rudi.

WOW...I'm impressed Jim !! Your recreation of the drawing is phenomenal and it really improves the dynamics of the forest. I'm going to have to hope Rudi finds this forum before I ask for help with my trident forest that badly needs repotting. Hope it survives this ghastly winter, it was weak when I put it in my cold room
