Last year when I showed what was going on with most of my shohin, all the tridents were lacking. All had been moved to grow pots a year or two before.
Today I decided to show one that will be repotted next spring to a show pot. This is a formal upright trident shohin. I have worked on the tree for many years but progress was slow due to my impatience to get it to a show pot in spite of really improveing the tree before the small pot. The canopy is much more to my liking now as it never looked quite right before. The lower branches were always out of charecter for this tree and with the increased size and ramification it looks much better. The nebari ain't bad either
Tree is 9 inches tall with a 1.75 inch trunk at the waist and a 4 inch spread on the nebari.
