KIFU TRIDENT MAPLE

[MACH5]

Hi Mach5, how’s this trident coming along? I’m interested to see if it flourished and became more vigorous under your care. The leaves looks like a miyasama. And perhaps it could be the dwarf version, the miyasama yatsubusa where it grows very slowly.

It's doing very well. Vigorous but still with very short internodes. It is for sure some sort of dwarf cultivar but unable to ID it. Looked in Andrea's maple book and did not find a match. Based on leaf shape I doubt it's a miyasama.

Trident today. Small leaves and extremely short internodes! One of the photos shows a short stub left at the base from one of the several successful root grafts. In early summer they will be cut flush with the nebari.
