Like many, I really enjoy clump style maples.
Repotted a few trident saplings today.
Positioned them as best I could and secured with wire. I won't touch these for a few years to allow proper fusion and ground layering to give me a better nebari.
Must be a good method to secure these better in the basket. I would have preferred to just let them fuse before wiring any movement but they are already getting lignified (snapped one a bit).
I've tried to have the fusion starting below the soil - sticking the wire into the soil and getting it around the trunk is awkward and seems to push the trunks apart a bit, so some learning with this technique.
