Keeping with the idea of posting pics of trees, here is a trident stump I purchased last year. I let the tree grow freely in the traing pot for a year, then this spring chopped everything back and laid out the basic branching. The whips have been left on for grafting new branches just below the apex and to help heal some wounds in back. There are a couple of lumps that appear to give some reverse taper but they will be carved out soon enough. The tree has a nice base but not nice roots so I will be root grafting here pretty soon as well. The third pic shows how fast these trees heal. That was a 3 inch wound last spring, now it is about half that.
