Fantastic progression! Thankyou suthin.

Yes Suthin, I remember it.
I have used it as inspiration for my own one below. Not up to your excellent standard though. You really can build up a dense ramification in a short time.

I took a few years out from online bonsai but it's good to be back and full of excitement again

WOW!! The taper on those trees is amazing!!

Nice tree Ian!

Hi Suthin, I really enjoy your posts and look forward to them. Your trident is a very beautiful tree, I can see that you have put a lot of work into this plant and now you are reaping the rewards.

Suthin,

Stunning work, very inspirational stuff! The colours are fantastic as well and its nice to see some broadleaves on here.

A fantastic SUMO bonsai. It has the right features viz:

-Aspect ratio of near 1

-An exaggerated, continuous taper

-Good-sized base and roots (gripping type)

-Proportioned branches at the right places

-Natural developmental pattern to the growth

Thanks for sharing
