First Trident 2 year progression

Got this in June of 09, and let it gow all the rest of that year. Chopped the following spring, and again let it grow all year. Pruned, wired, and repotted during the winter and spring '10-'11 respectively.

Nice progression, Dave. Are you layering the tree? Looks like you're already got a good nebari.

Zach

Good job...and the neabari will become even better

thanks for the kind words. I'm not layering, just needed to make sure a couple roots stayed damp.

Dave

Looking good so far have you concidered using one of the new sprouts on the lower right as a replacement for the large upward growing branch??

you see that little uro where the trunks spread? Do something with that! thats a great little bit of interest just waiting to be expanded upon. You might consider splitting the trunk where those two beefy main trunks meet, if you really wanna take that uro to the next level that is. Just a thought, if you think the tree is vigerous enough to handle it, and you are too.
