Pretty Fly for a Bonsai Guy
I started a couple small ROR tridents on some nice dark stones I collected up in WA about 12 years ago. They've been sitting on my benches for years, never quite suiseki, but too nice to just toss aside (obviously, since they've moved with me half-a-dozen times). Last year I decided to strap on a couple tridents and see how they did. Here is a series of shots from last year and during this year's repotting, I was very pleased with how strongly this one grew and began to attach. The goal for this one was to attach tree at a position lower than the tallest part of the rock.
At this spring's repotting, I kept the best roots, removed some redundant ones, redirected a few that needed to be tightened down into crevices, wrapped them up again, and put them back into the pot.
Here's number 1:
