Hi everyone.
This might be kind of a silly question but I know a lot of you are experienced with Trident Maples and probably have some insight on the subject.
I currently have a batch of trident seeds in the fridge and my main goal for some of the them will be to eventually create a respectable (hopefully) forest planting.
I know that with a forest group you want trees of different heights, thicknesses, and typically ages.
My question is this: Is it possible, through techniques like staggering sow dates, selective pruning, fertilizing, using different pots, and growing some trees on boards/tiles to achieve enough variation in heights and thicknesses down the road? Has anyone done this before, or do you typically start with different aged trees in your forest/group plantings?
Thanks.
